Raising a Mannerly Child in an Unruly World
The
chaos of the world around
us can be disheartening to many parents who hope to raise children
to be respectful, kind, and mannerly. The Director and Founder
of The PoliteChild®
discusses the Biblical basis for teaching manners to our children,
and shows you how to create for your child a solid foundation
for learning and using good manners and proper basic etiquette
that will last a lifetime.
The
Cost of Poor Social Skills in Education
We
can all share stories of rude behavior in our society, but have
you ever stopped to consider what it is costing us? Ms. Gregory
examines the hard and soft cost impact of poor social skills
on our educational system and why including social skill reform
in our schools is more important than smaller class sizes, more
teachers, and eliminating recess in order to maximize academic
learning.
Street
Smarts or SocialSmarts™
This
presentation is perfect for school assemblies and group meetings
where kids learn why they should care about their social skills
and abilities. Why good social skills are as important tot their
success as academics, and will make everthing else in life come
so much more easily to them. This presentation is tailored to
the age group of the audience, in order to connect with students
and make it relevant and interesting. Always a fun talk, whether
for 20 or 2000. Even the grownups are sure to learn something
new and be entertained!
How
Rude!
Designed
for Teens and Preteens, this 40-minute romp is sure to entertain
as it puts a humorous spin on common rude behaviors typically
exhibited by kids in this age group. Kids get a kick out of
seeing mannerisms and habits they have seen in their friends
played out by an adult -- and one that supposedly TEACHES manners
and etiquette. The relevance of good social skills and manners
is taught by bad example, by being the living image of "what
not to do."
War and the Golden Rule
Is
it possible to be a civilized society and still wage war? If
we truly desire peace and seek to be a mannerly, kind society
that values the virtues of kindness, truth, loyalty, and compassion,
are we still justified in taking military action in a foreign
land?
Disciplining Children
Next
to providing unconditional love, why is discipline the second
most important thing in a child's life? And, what kinds of discipline
are most effective? Is there a way to teach your child boundaries
and limits without going crazy yourself and constantly being
negative? Ms. Gregory explains a number of different traditional
and modern parenting philosophies and expert opinions (such
as Love & Logic, Jerry Wyckhoff's methods, Tough Love, and
more) and examines their pros and cons. Learn the secrets of
why no parenting methodology works cookbook-style, every time,
in every situation.
