Please, carefully look into the list below to see where you may want to make amends, on yourself or the young ones you are caring for.
Children, if not properly groomed may never get to the Top in life
Remember that "Manners" take you to where your education can't irrespective of your Status, Money or 'the who you know factor'.
1) Going to your child's school dressed indecently? Think again...
2) Speaking rashly to your child's teacher, Think again...
3) Cursing or using Foul words or Swearing infront of your children
4) Using makeup on children, Think again...
5) Dressing indecently for children (they loose the sense of their prince/princess hood)
6) Putting earrings on your son's ears
7) When your child hold the cup or glassware by the brim and you don't correct them
8) When your children don't greet and you just feel they will come around one day
9) When your children eat with their mouth opened and you feel they will grow up some day
10) When your children bring home something you did not buy for them and you say nothing
11) When they talk back at you and you conclude its okay since you are a 21st century mummy
12) When they interrupt when you are speaking with another adult and you think they are bold and clever
13) When they exercise authority over their nanny and domestic staff and you let them
14) When they say things like my driver is on His way...
I am not an advocate that children should call your domestic staff aunty or brother, calling them by name when they are not young people is not poise either
The use of Miss, Mr or Mrs will look good on them.
15) When your children don't say 'Thank You' when they have been helped or served something and you are cool with that
16) When your children cannot stand children who are less privileged
18) When they pick their nose with their hands
19) When they don't wash their hands after visiting the washroom
20) When your children take something from the fridge without taking permission
21) When your children don't knock on closed doors before opening it or entering.
22) When your children don't collect from your hands the stuff you brought in as you walk in through the door.
23) When your children request for a bribe to carry out their home chores or extra task.
24) When your children act like their grand parents irritate them
25) When your children have not learned to get up from the chair for the elderly to sit
26) When your child tell lots of lies
27) When your child ask 'who is that' at a knock on your door instead of 'please, who is there'
28) When your child is always seated by your visitors when being served drinks etc.
29) When your children still point their fingers at other people
30) When your children play and jump around when prayers are going on (age 4 above)
Please parents this is just for us to learn in case we are still lagging in any of the above.
God bless all of us.
