Yeah, You've Gotta Teach Your Kids Manners

The "must-do" list for parents is long and seems to get longer every time you turn around, so there's a good chance you groaned a little at this headline. But Julia Williamson is making an extremely persuasive case that yeah, you've gotta do it.

"I grew up in a somewhat formal home. We asked to be excused from the dinner table, where we'd put our cloth napkins on our laps at the start of the meal. We gave up our seats to anyone who seemed less able to stand. We didn't talk back to adults," she writes. "You might expect me to tell you that I rebelled against that the minute I left home, or that I tried a different approach with my kids. Nope!"

But you might be surprised at her kids' reaction!
