Our son has better manners than some 10 year old we know...and that comes from us...which came from our parents. <br /><br />Bravo for you to recognize the importance of setting examples.

She feels such pride just from a simple thank you that she is told when she passes on her gift. I admit I have gotten lazy with my thank you cards, quick hello cards or letters...a great reminder to start it up again.shortmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18083148312260283511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6797643656973915876.post-52100740768021891192009-10-13T13:49:22.935-07:002009-10-13T13:49:22.935-07:00What a great post... and doesn't it take a con...What a great post... and doesn't it take a conscious effort on our part?

My son just turned five and he'll be writing his own from here on out, but I cherished the time I was able to do them and have him sign his name. I know I've at least gotten this same message that you attempt through to him - his teachers dote on his thoughtfulness with his fellow students and his sincerity with thank yous. I am still working diligently on my monster 18 month old. He's ornery and stubborn, but I'm starting to see the light.<br /><br />I had a post VERY similar to this drafted, and then I deleted it. It didn't sound right. I might have to try again...if only to reach others who can reach "the future".<br /><br />I inherited a pen pal this last year and as ambitious as "once a week" sounds, I just might have to try it. I know how great it feels to get those letters of cheer in the mail, and how excited I am to mail one.<br /><br />Happy Tuesday!jmthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15910737494137891606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6797643656973915876.post-47895493979476401482009-10-13T12:22:48.433-07:002009-10-13T12:22:48.433-07:00Yes at least you are trying.

I am horrible about thank you cards and that sort of things. <br />I do try and teach my kids the basics, but when I am bad at remembering myself it makes it more tricky.Emmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14675419215475635276noreply@blogger.com
