Ask Mable: Acting Up
Frustrated Jane D. asks,
Dear Frustrated Jane D:
Social distancing doesn’t have to be the end of manners lessons for your son. There are some apps available these days that you can utilize to interact with your mother, WhatsApp, FaceTime, Zoom to name a few. I am using some of these platforms myself to continue teaching etiquette and I find my classes engaging. You wouldn’t want your mother and son’s relationship to suffer because of the Coronavirus.
I hear this often that some children seem to respond in a more positive way when taught manners by someone else other than their parents.
