Treat Children as Adults
Just a thought. But I was brought up by a mother and father who didn’t believe in baby talk. They talked to me always in an adult fashion and as soon as possible, they taught me the proper way to behave at a dinner table and how to behave around company. Children develop into thinking, responsible people when encouraged to learn, speak and eat like an adult.
Learning proper dining habits can come very handy in an executive adult world. If you wish the child to live their adult life around the bar talking about high school days, it doesn’t really matter. But if they are going to set their sites on a good, prosperous (intellectually and hopefully economically) successful future, table manners and good intelligent speech are a prerequisite.
I would make certain they knew the proper use of their flatware utensils and the proper table setting as soon as they are able to learn this. Just a thought. I see too many young people behaving like little animals and feel they would benefit by learning how to behave in social settings. Above all, enjoy life, and enjoy good dining.
