79: Manners: Parenting to help teens succeed in life by teaching the importance of good manners.

Send us a text

Many teens roll their eyes if they hear people talking about manners. The concept sounds old fashioned - like something that should be relegated to the Victorian past - but often what they're thinking about is etiquette rather than manners.

I went into the differences, and nuances, of manners in part two of this previous episode:

For this episode I've been joined by Brooke Romney, the author of 52 Modern Manners for Teens,  about the vital role manners have in setting up our teens for success.

I mentioned a few previous episodes in the podcast. What do you think about manners? Do you have any particular ones that really matter to you.
