Are “Please” And “Thank You” Really That Important?

June 23, 2016 by Tara-Michelle Ziniul Leave a Comment

“You’re stupid.” “Tell your brother you’re sorry.” “I’m sorry you’re stupid.” It’s a classic; in fact, I think I cut it out of a Family Circus comic once. The exchange itself might elicit a head-on-desk reaction, but the sentiment holds some truth: “saying sorry” is often insincere. In my … [Read more...]

Holiday Etiquette For Kids: What They Need To Know

December 24, 2014 by Tanya Cruz Leave a Comment

Kids and Empathy: Teach Your Children Well

September 30, 2013 by Tracey 6 Comments

Kids Are Gross.

May 22, 2012 by Amanda

Gross Things Kids Do:1. They don't flush the toilet. Nothing like lifting the lid to discover a day-old mound of kid-turd.2. They pee the bed. Not just a trickle, but a full-on geyser of urine while they sleep, and render the unsuspecting mattress unsalvageable. 3. They fart. Not cute, … [Read more...]

Manners for the Mesozoic

February 24, 2012 by Alice

I spent much of tonight's dinner reminding my progeny to sit facing the right way, use forks, and, you know, not actually shoot pieces of food across the room, please. For reals. It's like they are being raised by wolves, except I am pretty sure I am not of the lupine persuasion, so I'm not sure how … [Read more...]

Etiquette for Ladies

June 27, 2011 by Nancy
