June did nudge him on both of those items.
The two episodes Oh Nuts mentioned are good ones, although the logistics of sneaking the jacket and tie out to the car have been discussed before. But those aren't really important--the important thing was that he did it.
Another thing was that in episodes like Sweatshirt Monsters or the school picture, he tries to impart to Beaver the difference between right and wrong. Beaver is a slow learner and naive, but as June said in one episode, he is a "nice little boy." Shows good parenting works!

YES! Great examples. Of course June was a pretty nifty mother too- perhaps a theme for another thread (hint hint)
