Hi Everyone,
Been a while since I posted so I thought I would post a question about today's children.
I often daily deal with children of varying ages and sometimes am shocked at the language they speak. Have any of you ever had a positive experience with a strange child.
I did today he was about 9 and was reaching for a bottle of water way out of his range, I asked hom which bottle he was after and he said the "Yellow one Please" when I got it for him he then said "Thankyou:" I was shocked but happy that some of the values and lessons that I was taught as a child are still being used today.
Tell us what experience you have had

I too am appalled by the lack of manners in today's children.
I feel a lot of it comes down to what they are seeing and hearing, or more importantly NOT seeing and hearing at home.
I must admit my own manners had gotten quite dreadful, but since I had my daughter they've risen to new heights and I'm pleased to say that we're quite often complimented on her manners, I just hope they don't disappear once she hits school and starts socialising with other children who may not have been brought up the same way.

I guess as long as my kids are nice and polite when out and about, I can tolerate a bit of nonsense at home!!!
