My hat goes off to all of the specialists across the United States who teach
manners and etiquette to our youth!
Each with a different approach in presentation, but the message always the same.
Common Courtesy, Polite and Civil behavior toward others.
When children are toddlers we have fun teaching manners like please and thank you,
but what about the treatment of friends, family, coworkers, neighbors and strangers?
We have to communicate to our children as early as two years old that we have
expectations for their behavior and teach them how to behave or they learn from
children who may not get the same support at home.
Our children need to be reminded on a daily basis to be aware of their impact on
others through lessons, conversations and good examples at home.
Easier said than done in a world where negative and sarcasm is the norm.
Based on feedback from others, the concept of a storefront classroom is a great idea
and very needed.
I thought everyone would run to sign their children up!
Now I know why it was such a unique idea! Most classes are taught in restaurants,
community centers and private homes.
My experience has been that most people think it's a great idea for
someone else's children!
I thought that if I was sincere and worked hard I could make it work.
I'm not one to blame others or play aint it awful, but coming in future blogs I plan to
share some of the roadblocks and setbacks that helped create a recipe for failure.
Much of my own, but still!
For now, the focus is on liquidating the inventory and working on a new marketing
strategy for onsite classes.
I am grateful to those who have been supportive, encouraging and
believed in the message! You continue to inspire me.
Stay tuned....
