Thank you, please, eye contact and so on. We teach our chldren this who many times hold the door for strangers who fail to notice because their too busy on, 'me'. we are complimented on our kids often mostly by our senior populatio who recognize it. A little respect and manners go a long way. Proof in the pudding. Our oldest son was to d a mock interview for school last year. Because of his manners and composure he was the only one out of over 100 kids who got an A and all who interviewed him listed him first choice to work for their company- talk about a real boost for manners
