Yes please...
No thank you...
Please may I...
What ever happened to manners? It amazed me at my sons beaver scout camp how many of the children were ungrateful for the activities and food that had been organised for them. It seems that the Beaver boys had no or very little manners.
It is important for children to be taught manners at a young age as they lay the foundations for adulthood. It is where children learn to be tolerant of others and respectful of other peoples possessions and efforts. (Respect there is another thing that seems to be lacking in many children). Table manners are apparently a dyeing art in many young ones according to my sons headmaster.He even felt the need to ask parents to ensure their children know how to sit at a table and use cutlery as many of the finger food chicken nugget generation (his words not mine) are unable to do so when they start school at 5 years of age. Can you imagine the chaos that would descend in the school hall if all 500 children decided to eat walking round?
