Dear Parents,
*HABITS THAT SHOW IMPROPER UPBRINGING OF CHILDREN*
Please, carefully look at the list below and identify where you may want to make amends on yourself or on the young ones you are bringing up.
Children, if not properly groomed may never get to the top in life, even if both parents are at the top of their careers.
Manners take you to where your education can't irrespective of your status, wealth or your reach or influence:
1) Going to your child's school indecently
dressed. (Think again).
2) Speaking rashly to your child's teacher.
3) Cursing, using foul language or swearing
words in front of your children.
4) Using makeup on children.
5) Dressing your little children up indecently
(they lose their sense of Princesshood).
6) Putting earrings on your son's ears.
7) Your child holds the cup or glassware by the brim and you don't correct.
8) Your children don't greet and you just feel they will turn around one day because they
have a mood swing. (You will be blamed for it)
9) Your children eat with their mouth opened
and you feel they will grow up some day to overcome the habit.
10) Your children bringing home something you did not buy for them and you say nothing. (that is the beginning of stealing).
11) The Children talk back at you and you conclude it's okay since you are a 21st
century Mummy. (You will hate yourself if they do that outside and they are
disciplined).
12) The Children interrupt when you are speaking with another adult and you think
they are bold and clever. (Its really bad manners).
13) The Children exercise authority over the Nanny and domestic staff and you let them be.
14) The Children saying things like "my driver is on his way..." I do not advocate that
children should call your domestic staff
Aunty or Brother, calling them by Name
when they are not young people is not
proper either. The use of Miss, Mr or Mrs
will look good on them.
15) Your children don't say a 'thank you' when they have been
