I would love to hear from you!

This month we are launching our newest manners e-course for teens/tweens but moms of young children keep reading because what you are doing and teaching NOW in those young years can be the most impactful way to ensure thoughtfulness and respect later on in the teen years and adulthood.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Did you know that manners are really just habits? And they help our children put into daily practice the virtues we want to instill. When you think about manners that way, they start to really matter.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here are just a few examples:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Patience: Not Interrupting, Waiting for People to Exit Elevator Before Rushing In.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Respect: Looking People in the Eye, Not Talking with Food in Mouth
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Kindness: Habits of Sharing, Being Quick to Help Others
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Gratitude: Saying Thank You, Writing Thank You Notes
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s not easy to constantly teach and remind these things (and it is constant when they are young!) but, devoted mothers, your daily efforts matter! Little by little, year by year.
You may not see the fruits of your labor immediately but what a gift to society to raise kind, considerate, and generous people. A high calling indeed!
