Boys and Manners: 104 Things Your Boys NEED to Know

How Important Are Good Manners for Your Boys?

You already know the answer. "Very."

Emily Post said: "Manners are a sensitive awareness of the feelings of others. If you have that awareness, you have good manners, no matter what fork you use."

Good old Emily Post was right. It doesn't really matter what fork your Boys use... The essence of Good Manners runs much deeper than that. A Boy's manners are reflected in how they interact with those around them - family members, their friends, other adults. The kind of manners your Boys display toward others tell more about their character than any words can say.

In days gone by, Good Manners used to be considered important -- even essential. But somehow over the past couple of generations, our society has shifted from "caring for others" to "pleasing ourselves". Academic achievement (learning facts and knowledge) has become much more important than learning to show civility and respect to those around us.

We live in a day and age where manners are NOT highly valued -- and bad manners are actively promoted. Plain old common courtesy is at an all-time low. If ever there was a time that instilling good manners into our Boys was difficult, it is now. In fact, this can be one of the toughest jobs a parent has to face.

BOYS AND MANNERS contains some of the tools you need to l help guide you in your ongoing quest to instill better manners into your Boys... and at the same time help them understand the true reasons why "good manners" are so vitally important, right now and for their future.

There are three sections in this manual:

PART ONE: 100 Important Things Your Boys Need to Know:Â A Guide to Boys and Manners
â€¨Boys with good manners are the kind of people that you want to be around, able to demonstrate respect, and themselves respected. Boys who use good manners, who can comfortably carry on a conservation, and know how to act appropriately with people of different ages and backgroundsÂ are more likely to achieve than those who canâ€™t. By teaching our boys good manners, we are giving them skills they can use in every aspect of their lives. Part one contains much practical advice on how to "teach" good manners to your boys day in and day out. Included are 104 important examples of good manners at home, in public, with friends, and rules of conduct that every boy should be aware of and try to live by.Â

What tips and techniques actually help these things â€œstickâ€? The common themes they shared came through loud and clear. There are specific ways to instill manners in Boys, and they don't always come easy and they never come quick - but these tried-and-true tips and strategies will light the way.

PART THREE: The Rules of the House: Parents Share Their Most Important Household Manners
â€¨
Next question we asked: â€œIf you decided to post the most important rules of your household on your refrigerator door right at eye level so your boys would see it every day (and so you could direct their attention to it often) -- what would you put there?" In this section you'll find their responses â€“ real, nitty-gritty "house rules" from boy-filled households (from the practical to the hysterically funny) that will help you know what you should expect from your boys, and will let you develop your own "house rules".
