I saw this list someplace....we mothers and grandmothers might be interested.

There is one more that came to mind for me.  

1.Teach your child to always say, “Please” when asking for something and “Thank you” when receiving something or when someone has helped them.

2.Teach them to say, “Excuse me” when you need they need to get through a crowd, bump into someone or want to get someone’s attention.

3.Teach them not to interrupt. Whether it be interrupting a conversation between two people that they are not a part of (unless it is an emergency) or when someone is speaking to them.

4.Show them how it’s impolite to comment on other people’s characteristics or physical appearances, unless if it is a compliment. And that there are things a person has no control over.

5.Teach your child to ask permission. It’s important that they understand if they aren’t sure about taking or using something, it is always better to ask first.

6.Enforce the importance of gratitude. Show your child how to write a simple thank you note. Especially when they receive gifts in the mail, they shouldn’t be allowed to use the gift until they have properly thanked whoever gave it to them.

7.Give your child a lesson in hygiene. Teach them to cover their mouth when they cough or sneeze and to never pick their nose and always use a tissue.

8.Teach them to politely respond when someone asks them how they are and to ask the question back.

9.Tell them how important it is to respect other people’s privacy. Always knock on closed doors and wait for a response before opening it.

10.Enforce the idea of table manners. Teach them to not reach across the table to get something, but instead ask if someone can pass it to them. Mouth closed while chewing, not talking with mouth full.

11.Teach them to hold the door open for others if the opportunity presents itself and always say, “Thank you” if someone held the door for them.

12.Show them how to clean up after themselves both after play time and eating a meal.

13.Teach them to show respect by standing and taking their hat off for the National Anthem or Pledge of Allegiance.

14.Tell them to try to remember people’s names and to address people by their names when speaking to them.

15.Teach them not to litter and how important is it to keep our earth clean.

16.Tell them why it’s important to always have good sportsmanship whether you lose or win.

17.Make your child aware that many homeowners prefer that guests take off their shoes at the door.
 

Wouldn't that be nice if all parents/grandparents taught their children it would be even better if adults would do the same thing...I still say yes maam and no maam and yes sir and no sir to other people...that is one thing my parents were strict about...and I am 60 years old and I taught my children the same thing as well....

Hi, Luv.   I see your are logged in.

I'm tired of my avatar.  Love CEK's very Spring-y one.  Let's see what I can find.

Evening everyone...I just wanted to pop in and let you know that I may not be back on tonight before I hit the hay....my daughter is doing questions from the DNA test we all took and it may take a while...She had us all do the "23andMe"  mostly for the genetic information and not as much the ancestry...we just have to get my son to do it now...

It is quite interesting I wish I could have had it done on my parents while they were still here...

So if I don't get back tonight I will see you all in the morning...
So in advance...have a restful night and sweet dreams...
Hugs till then...

It's a good one to do, CEK.  It is in wide use within the autism biomed community.  About 60% of the population have the MTHFR gene mutation that impacts on detoxifying pathways.  Chances are you get something good out of it, if you have chronic health problems.  Good move!!!!

ok.  I'm going to say...

Before show airs, going home:  Nick Viall    any points if get that right?
Top of the Leader Board:  Heather and Maks
No bad sparks...even Maks is kind of mellow this season
Good sparks: Keo and Normani Kordei
Chmerkovskiys:  Peta goes home first, then Maks, Val lasts the longest
I think I said Charo might go home due to injury...but she looks pretty agile and fit.  But I'll stick with that.

I think I can wait with the other categories until after seeing the show.  Is that right, Luv?

yep..

View do you think with the new producer or what they have been told to keep things a bit more hush hush for this season???

Entirely possible, I think, CEK....don't you? 

I actually do Jet...it is just so odd that all the other seasons social media was on fire with posts and now with new "higher ups" social media is almost at a stand still....

Yes, it is kind of strange.
