Manner Tips
Mouth Manners Rule # 16
June Hines Moore
Rule: br>It is impolite, if not hurtful, to make fun of the way someone speaks, such as with a different accent. Reason: br>We learn our speech patterns from listening to our family from birth, and pronunciation once learned is difficult to change. Application: br>Explain to your children about different cultures, accents, and customs. Remember that God loves all the children of the world wherever they live. While remaining patriotic, children should learn to accept people who are different from them. Copyright 2003, June Hines Moore Click here for a biblical approach and resources on manners. |
