- My son's principal told me he called a girl ugly on several occasions.
- As a mother and leadership coach, I worried I failed my son.
- Instead of judging him and myself, I taught him the power of words.
"Your son has been calling a girl ugly — repeatedly."
I froze. My stomach dropped. The words from the school principal felt surreal. My 13-year-old had called someone ugly.
