[quote=Anonymous]AT what age can that stop? When can the child call "Jim" "Jim" and not "Mr. Jones" or "Sir" or "Mr. Jim"? Originally from the Midwest and never used the Sir Maam thing but did call teachers, and those in 'authority' Ms/Miss/Mrs/Mr Lastname. Still do when i see an old teacher. However, parents of my friends were always just First name if i was good friends with the family or Mrs/Mr Lastname if i didn't know them well. I maybe just grew up more in an area that is a bit more laid back but i think tone and intent is a much better indicator of respect than an arbitrary honorific. that is just me though. I prefer for kids not to interrupt much more respectful than what they call me. [/quote]
