[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You teach your kids to call an adult Mr./Ms./Mrs. Last name. When the child does that, the adult in the situation can have that continue or say, please call me Larla. Having kids call adults by their first names who are not family friends/relatives is disrespectful. Its perfectly fine for kids to call adults by their first name, but only after being told its ok by that adult.[/quote] Why not the opposite? Use first names by default and people can tell each other when they'd like to be addressed in a different way, or preemptively when they introduce themselves. In your mind, how should adults address teens by default? [/quote]
