Mothers, do you ever impress upon your children the fact that they ought to show true politeness to everyone? Do not let them show rudeness at home, and then expect them to be polite in company. Politeness is not inborn, it has to be cultivated. It is a singular fact that parents allow their children to treat their brothers and sisters with little or no respect; this is one great cause of inharmony in many homes. Some parents think that to have their children pay too much attention to the rules of politeness, is apt to make them too formal. Better a little formality than actual rudeness. If there is any place in the world where true politeness and consideration should be shown, it is at home, and a parent cannot begin too early to teach such acts to a child. Remember that true politeness begins in the heart: "Out of the fullness of the heart, the mouth speaketh." An earnest desire to "do unto others as I would that they should do unto me," should be a child's motive power to impel to acts of kindness and politeness. See that the heart is kept right, and your child will be truly polite. +--------------------------+ | | | Advice to Boys and Girls | | | +--------------------------+
