Dear Family Coach

Dear Family Coach: My 9-year-old son seems to be getting into more trouble at school this year. He’s not the one who starts the fooling around, but he is definitely a joiner. He doesn’t want to miss out on being with his buddies. His behavior is not affecting his grades, as he is a good student. But what’s the best way to remedy his misbehaving? – Follower’s Father

Dear Father: There are two probable culprits behind your son’s behavior: He is fearful that if he doesn’t follow his friends, he won’t have any. Additionally, he might be a bit impulsive. This means he often makes quick decisions without thinking through the consequences. In order to help your son make better choices, it’s important to address both potential culprits.
