Is your child spoiled?
If so, it is because you have trained him/her to be spoiled. You have handicapped a
perfectly lovely child. You are not doing your children a favor by spoiling them when they do not deserve it. Rewarding them for good actions is not spoiling them. Your job as a parent is to prepare your children to live in the real world as adults in civilized society once they become of age. The first skills we need to learn in order to be able to live on our own are called “respect and good manners.” These are not the only skills needed, but they are the first skills needed. Children with good manners have more friends, are happier, and are invited to nice places.
Once a child learns to base his core values on respect for self and others,
your child will automatically develop common sense, good self-esteem, and a back bone. Respect and Good Manners will automatically help a child deal with bullies,
rude and selfish people. When one is fortunate enough to begin life living with people who have good manners, one will always feel confident. Good manners have nothing to do with how much money one has or does not have. Every home should be a place where one can feel safe, respected and loved. When a child feels respected, they can accomplish anything they are willing to work for. The one thing that made America the greatest nation on Earth was our common bond as honest, hard working, civilized, law abiding citizens working together for the good of all. We all want to be treated with respect. We all want to be around someone we can trust who has our back.
“A Year of Good Manners” by Margery Sinclair and Jan Polk provides 365 common,
every day courtesy tips and the reason to use each one. When the reasons change,
the rules change. In the meantime, our goal as civilized citizens is to treat each other with respect. It is not being phony to be polite to someone you do not like….it is called civilized behavior and it is our civic duty to behave as honorable, civilized citizens.
Milwaukee Etiquette Consultant/Coach Margery Sinclair uses a very humorous style when writing very important information that can be easily understood, enjoyed and used. Margery explains what you can do rather than what not to do.
Jan Polk’s Great American Flower Collection “respect series” floral images are beautiful to look at as well as reminders to treat yourself and others with respect.
“It is easy to hold yourself to a higher standard when you know how.” says Jan Polk.
Margery Sinclair’s motto: “Good Manners are Good Business.”
