[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't do "gentle parenting". Teach obedience. Underrated skill these days. Model politeness yourself (don't snap at wait staff, say please and thank you, etc.). Nip interrupting habits in the bud. We started teaching our child not to interrupt at 2. It is still a work in progress but we do not tolerate it.[/quote] I promise that your kid will one day either run away or completely rebel against everything you teach them. It’s a story as old as time.[/quote] Oh really? Most kids I see who have nice manners have parents who instilled it in them. It doesn’t mean they’re kept on a short leash. It just means they’re taught to be kind to people, address adults appropriately, say please and thank you, make conversation, hold the door open, make eye contact and smile. It’s not difficult.
