Revealing to young men what their own true virtues are, makes them have more respect for themselves because they realize that they were born with specific skills and genuine wisdom. Having this new-found self-respect makes it more likely that they’ll be willing to behave according to the virtues their parents want them to learn, like responsibility, cooperation, and honesty.  Moral: If you make a deal with young men that will help them discover their authentic qualities, they’ll step up and develop the qualities they’ll need in order to launch into the adult world successfully.  For a complimentary 20-minute consultation with Dr. Mark or for more information about his parent coaching and mentoring young men, go to https://cts.drmarkmentor.com/
