Communication

Many times as parents we are angry because our children have not met our expectations. We think, how could you do that in public? But don’t forget if they are not taught in private they will be caught in public.

So have what I call learning series. When I was growing up my mum had a special time with us every Saturday to each us how to behave like ladies as it was a family of four girls. The lessons included how to sit with style, how to respond with courteous language and how to show respect, how to sit with our legs closed.

More lessons from her included how to not speak with our mouths full. How to say please and thank you.

If you don’t have time to teach your children your expectations then you should not expect any better. Remember it is all about investment.
