Teaching Kids Manners
Teaching kids manners is important for their future success in their career and social life. Simple things like using people’s names, using eye contact and saying please and thank you are examples of behaviors that children need to be taught. Good manners are something all successful leaders have in common according to Michael Grose. It’s common sense stuff but kids need to be reminded many times before it sticks and then they will eventually model the behavior automatically.
Michael is a leading parenting expert in Australia. He has several videos out there but today I thought I would share this one on manners. The most important aspect in my opinion is to model good manners for children. As we all know they copy what you do more than what you say.
I slept in today and probably didn’t model the greatest example this morning since I was sort of cranky, but tomorrow is another day.
