Poise And Grace Lessons 101 - Must Read!

The British upper class believes it a thing of poise,grace and something worth displaying when children exhibit politeness,courtesy and good manners

In their own opinion,  children who lack good manners are of the commoners

Please, carefully look into the list below to see where you may want to make amends , on yourself or the young ones you are caring for.

Children, if not properly groomed may never get to the Top in life

Manners take you to where your education can't, irrespective of your status, money or the 'who you know' factor.

1) going to your child's school dressed indecently? Think again

2) speaking rashly to your child's teacher

3) cursing, using foul words or swearing in front of your children

4) using makeup on children

5) dressing indecently for children (they loose the sense of their princess hood)

6) putting earrings on your son's ears

7) your child hold the cup or glass ware by the brim and you don't correct

8) your children don't greet and you just feel they will come around one day

9) your children eat with their mouth opened and you feel they will grow up some day

10) your children bring home something you did not buy and you say nothing

11) they talk back at you and you conclude its okay since you are a 21st century mummy

12) they interrupt when you are speaking with another adult and you think they are bold and clever

13) they exercise authority over their nanny and domestic staff and you let them be

14) they say things like my driver is on his way...

I am not an advocate that children should call your domestic staff aunty or brother, calling them by name when they are not young people is not poise either.

The use of Miss, Mr or Mrs will look good on them.

20) when your children take something from the fridge without taking permission

21) when your children don't knock on closed doors

22) when your children don't collect from your hands the stuff you bought in as you walk in through the door.

23) when your children request for a bribe to carry out their home chores or extra task.

24) when your children act like their grand parents irritate them

25) when your children have not learned to get up from the chair for the elderly to sit

26) when your child tell a lot of lies

27) when your child ask 'who is that'  at a knock on your door instead of 'please, who is there'

28) when your child is always seated by your visitors when being served drinks etc.

29) when your children still point their fingers at other people

30) when your children play and jump around when prayers are going on.(age 4 above)
