While cultural ideas and practices change, what does tend to stand the test of time are virtues and the moral development they stem from. The list of Aristotelian virtues is quite long, but there are a few worth calling out to demonstrate the point of them being timeless: courage, proper ambition, truthfulness, wittiness, patience, and friendliness. We would struggle mightily to argue with the possession of any of these traits being a bad thing. It turns out with young children, some of the wiring for these virtues is not in place yet while other virtues seem to present or absence abundance from the earliest ages.
