[quote=Anonymous]Honestly. I truly wonder this. Our generation was not raised the way we are raising our kids. We don't make our kids speak to people. Often parents themselves don't speak to people unless they know them. 
I've seen so many instances where parents apologize on behalf of their kids and can't get their kids to say sorry. What are we doing here and why is everyone following this trend. Will our kids magically become polite, kind respectful kids when they turn 10 even if we don't require it in the early years? Or do parents change their approach once kids turn 8 or so? We are trying our best to raise respectful kids but it's so hard when so few seem to be trying or caring about that instilling those values early on. Maybe I need to read more of these books on this new parenting philosophy but what I see when out and about doesn't instill confidence that that approach is the right one. My parents drilled things into us, please, thank you, excuse me until it became second nature. [/quote]
