Manner Tips
Mouth Manners Rule # 13
June Hines Moore
Rule:Contradicting someone?s explanation is rude. Reason:The speaker has the right to express an opinion. Contradicting can be the same as calling someone a liar, though that is seldom the intention of the one making the contradiction. Application:Contradictions usually come as interruptions when we blurt out our opposite point of view. Teach your children that though it is sometimes necessary to disagree with someone, it is not acceptable to be rude. Teach your children some alternative phraseology, such as ?Are you sure??? or ?I did not understand it that way.?
