Manners is not something that one is born with, therefore it is our responsibility as a parent to instil a solid foundation of love and good manners in our children.

August is “Children’s Good Manners Month” and I’ve created a manners chart for parents to encourage their children to use their manners. E-mail us your child’s completed charts for the month of August and we will mail you a “Certificate of Good Manners” . You can e-mail us through the “Contact Us” link to the right and please make sure to include your child’s full name, age and if you would like the certificate emailed or mailed ( Include address).

– Instead of throwing tissue paper away, save it for crafts on a rainy day! My daughter is in a craft phase where she wants to cut everything. So, we used the tissue paper from her birthday presents and cut small squares  and glued them onto white craft paper. Use your imagination and come up with different designs. Here are a couple of our ideas. Hopefully you will try this craft with your kids and post pictures on our Facebook page.
