In this episode, I talk about how important it is for kids to live up to their names in a lot of ways. I grew up being told I was Dennis the Menace, the bad kid. I'm very careful about the words I use to describe my kids and how I describe them. I intentionally chose names like Max and Noah to help counteract the default behavior.
