Good Manners Equals Good Values

Teaching children good values to live by is the same as training children to have good manners.

We teach children to value their friendships by not excluding friends from play, parties or even conversations.  Good manners always include everyone and make people feel welcome in a group.

We teach children to value generosity of others when given a gift  and we teach them to show good manners by acknowledging gifts with a thank you note.  Remembering the generosity of others means a lot to the person giving the gift.

The gift giver takes time to shop for a gift, takes their money to buy the gift and then the time to wrap a gift.  The least the receiver can do is take five minutes to give thanks for the gift.
