‘For we aim at what is honorable not only in the Lord’s sight but also in the sight of man.’

- 2 Corinthians 8:21

Good manners modeled in the home can go a long way toward teaching our children that God has expectation from them to do what is right not only in His sight but also before others.

Our children are a reflection of us their parents, they will learn by our example not our advice.

Good manners are just a way of showing other people we have respect for them and teaching our children good manners is teaching them about kindness, consideration and respect.

Here are a few good Manners to teach our children:

• Saying 'Please' and 'Thank You'. This is one of the first basic manners to teach children

• Asking before taking anything.

• Saying 'I am Sorry' when they have done something wrong

• Knocking on doors before entering.

• Covering one's mouth when sneezing, yawning or coughing

• Saying 'Excuse Me'

• Not Making Fun of People

• Phone Etiquette.

Let’s remind them that good manners will open doors that the best education cannot, and when they exhibit good manners in their conduct, they are representing God and their family as well
