Etiquette: Does it Matter? — 8 Comments

  1. You are speaking my language! I am a firm believer in proper etiquette and manners, and I am afraid both are getting lost in today’s casual culture. I raised my kids with proper manners and it got noticed. They also had to write thank you notes not only for gifts, but to coaches and teachers at the end of a season or school year. It teaches gratitude and respect. And my pet peeve is when people don’t RSVP to an invitation. It’s rude and lazy. We also had the Goops book and my kids loved it! Thank you, Jarm for this needed post.

  2. I am a huge fan of manners being taught. It shows respect for others and helps remind kids (and us as adults as we hopefully continue the habits we learned as kids) that we are not the center of the universe. It’s a small and simple way to consistently treat others better than ourselves and practice servanthood.
