I hadn't seen this, but Frank Maier mentioned it in the chat today.
One of the comments kept me from commenting. :-)
But the second point is important: "Here�s a question that I think it would behoove parents to ask themselves, both while at conferences and in their day to day lives: �Is my child�s behavior creating negative externalities for other people?� When the answer to that question turns into a �yes,� then it is time for you to intervene."
