An easy mistake to make?

In a few of the cases. Apparently, being the best at what you do is also capable of stunting maturity.

"Commander! He was looking at my omni-tool! I'm going to shoot him in the face!" "Commander! I'm throwing a chair at her because she called me a bad name!" "Mooooom, Grunt stole my cookies!"

Two of those are actual complaints, only one was something that they couldn't handle themselves.

That part is probably more my fault than anybody else. How do you ask someone to field something like that.

As a rule?

Carefully.

Unless you can find someone who simply doesn't care.
