Are manners outdated? Why don't parents teach their children?

Question

I am intested in all answers. I raised my children to have manners, do parents actually do this. I just don't see it. I work in a speciality retail store and on a daily basis watch parents let their kids run around and touch everything and disrespect where they are at. Talk back and scream! Help me answer this question?

Answer 1

Simple one cannot teach what they do not know, or what they do not find to be important. I personally, have taught my children manners. And also see the deploring of a society with children growing up as heathens. It is a horrible shame.

Answer 2

Boy,do I agree with you!Ive noticed this as well thru the last several years.It seems that children pretty much have run of the house, now.They disrespect everyone,old, young, parents,teachers,police....you name it.It seems that our society has gone way too far with over indulging our kids.They now make out Xmas lists and demand to get these things...They are believed in everything they say....We give them awards,even when they havent earned them,,just to make sure their egos arent damaged...the list goes on.
I also raised my children with "manners" and they in turn raised theirs.People are always saying to me,"your grandchildren are sooooo polite,how did you do it?"
It all boils down to respect.In our society,we have lost that,somehow.So we have raised a bunch of spoiled brats.And Im NOT just talking about the kids!I cant see it getting any better.All one can do is work with their own kids and hope for the best.

good boys and girls DO do what they're advised. nicely behaved toddlers do mean many times that mummy and daddy are happy (much less stressful) Who needs to be buddies with the pungent grimy newborn in college what's misguided with getting to understand self understand ie respecting your person physique. what's the form between strengthen a newborn interior a faith and convey them up atheist it rather is nonetheless forcing your person perspectives onto them and how are you able to are making a call at 18 in case you have no longer have been given any adventure of those issues, the astonishing element to do is coach approximately all religions.

Answer 4

You are abhsolutely right. These days children are raised without discipline and therefore no manners are instilled. I've noticed this also. I think it has a lot to do with parents fearing that if they discipline their children someone will think they are abusing them and call Child Protective Services on them.

Answer 5

Parents need to discipline their kids in order to do so. Problem is that when todays parents were growing up, discipline was administered with a spanking or simular things. So thats the best way they know how to do it. But spanking or sending a child to their room without food, and all that, (which worked when we were kids) are now concidered cruel. So kids have alot more leeway, and parents has less leeway on what they can do about it. If it was up to me, I'll do what my mom did to me, a spanking in the mall when i tried to throw a tantrim, and it worked out fine.

Answer 6

I really don't know why parents don't do this. I am 13 years old and I usually don't talk back or anything. But my friend; she is really smart and nice and funny; but has NO manners at all. Its annoying. But I don't know. The parents could just be lazy or don't realize this. But I don't know how they couldn't realize it! My dad just gets so frustrated because when he comes home and my friend is here I say hi and she doesn't; I say bye when hes leaving and she doesn't; she doesn't say please/thank you; and she just does not use manners! I always say please or thank you and use all manners when I'm either home or at someone else's house!

Answer 7

Answer 9

I agree with you. I am a parent myself. Sometimes I think it is due to the parents don't agree with the punishment teaching method. They believe in the love teaching method.

For me, I think in certain case, the punishment teaching method is more useful for certain child. While the love teaching method are mainly for those sensible child.

Nowadays the children are too smart for us. After the punishment, we must explain to them why they are being punished. If you forget to explain, they will ask you why.

Answer 10

They are not taught manners, because they were not taught manners. I am a Teacher and I see it constantly. I teach them table manners as well as social manners.
