Don't wait for "he'll grow out of it" — a practical question list turning your vague worry into a specific teacher conversation.

Don't ask "be my mentor" — ask "20 min on specific decision" 6 times until relationship becomes natural.

Convert 3 vague goals into Specific-Measurable-Achievable-Relevant-Time-bound.

Prepare 10 deep questions before any coffee chat — converts pleasantries to relationship.

Write the situation in two columns: a fact a camera could record, and your interpretation.

Instead of "be better", request "reply to my message within 24h".

Don't analyze a problem from your desk. Go where it happens and observe 30 minutes before suggesting a fix.

After any delegated task completes, deliver feedback in Situation-Behavior-Impact format.

Turn a vague goal into a specific, measurable, time-bound formulation.

Go to the workplace, observe yourself, ask "why" 3 times, don't intervene.

4 steps: Describe (situation), Express (impact), Specify (change), Consequences (outcomes).

Mentally exit the meeting and look at it from above. What's really happening, beyond what's being said?

Learn to spot Montessori "sensitive periods" (order, language, movement, senses) so you offer the right environment at the right time.
