We've all been there. You are in the grocery store, on the very last aisle and everything seems to fall apart with your child. They are tired, hungry, bored, you name it and they just want out of there. A tantrum ensues. You are left feeling frustrated, embarrassed, and exhausted when it is all said and done.
That is just one small example of how difficult parenting can be. There are many different examples that go right on up to the teen years. I have found myself kicking around the idea for a while of bringing together parents in order to support one another and offering real, practical, solid advice for Raising a Well-Mannered Child. I believe that it starts young and that what you put forth when they are little will shine through as they grow older. It is definitely a dance of sorts and it takes patience, prayer, and practice.
I will be the first one to tell you that I am far from having this figured out. Every child is different and NO ONE is perfect. But, I do think that there are some practical ways we can make sure we are laying a good foundation for our children's future behaviors.
