[quote=Anonymous]Be punctual. 5 minutes early is on time. On time is late.

Send a "safe home" note after you leave someone's house and it is drive / trip home.

Thank someone the next day when you have been over at their house the evening / weekend before.

Wear clean clothes that fit. Know what type of clothes to wear for what occasion and if you are a man, understand subtleties like not buttoning lower button, matching tie width to lapel width, having tie the right length, importance of good shoes, in-season fabrics.

When you are a guest at someone else's house, offer to help; clear your plate; make your bed; keep your belongings tidy and together.

If answering a phone, say "this is he/she;" "whom may I say is calling."

Especially important these days: Do not fill you child's head with garbage like tiktok, video games, celebrity gossip, vine, discord, social media. Make them culturally literate--watch classic movies (not animated franchise serial crap), read the classics at bedtime and for pleasure; visit museums, go to the opera / ballet / theater. Travel abroad or to nicer North American places. These are things the UMC spends money on that the MC simply does not have the budget for. Listen to classic music, public radio, public television (or its modern equivalent).

Personally I think you should avoid graphic novels and anime and that they destroy kids attention span and love of reading.

Do not play with guns, even nerf guns.

Never set foot in Chuck E Cheese, Dave and Busters, or similar.

Ski, golf, tennis, sailing, horseback riding.

Music lessons. Classical music lessons.

Ballet for girls. Not the kind of "dance" where they put the girls in spangled costumes with heavy makeup. Chess for boys.[/quote]
