Manner Tips

Mouth Manners Rule # 12

June Hines Moore

Rule:Children should learn that there are times when interruptions are necessary.

Reason:When a child takes an important phone call for you, it may be necessary for him or her to interrupt your chat with the neighbor.

Application:Teach your children how to interrupt you when it becomes absolutely necessary. They can simply say, ?Excuse me,? or make eye contact with you as you speak, or raise their hand to get your attention.
