Manner Tips
Mouth Manners Rule # 19
June Hines Moore
Rule:A child who hears only correction gets a negative picture of himself and feels discouraged. Reason:Offering praise inspires our children to be respectful, to cooperate, and to take responsibility. Application:Instead of taking the easy way out and blurting out a negative command or reprimand, find something positive to say before correcting your child. Perhaps, you can say, ?I noticed that you were polite and well behaved during the party. Next time, I?m sure you will remember to thank the mom for inviting you to help celebrate.
