[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many call me by my first name only and I strongly dislike it. That would have been seen as rude when I was a kid. I'd prefer Ms FirstName. I introduce myself that way, but generally don't correct a kid who just calls me FirstName. Should I say, " that's Ms. FirstName to you"?[/quote] No, that's rude. You can say, warmly, maybe crouching to their eye level, "You can call me Ms. Firstname." Kids often need several reminders of people's names, and there are many adults who do ask to be addressed as Firstname, so we can't expect the kids to get it right every time for every person.[/quote]
