Ladies and Gentlemen

February 17, 2012; 12:10 pm by Erin Sheehan

This past week, there was much discussion on our UrbanBaby message boards regarding the unfortunate physical attack at an all-girls private school in NYC in October that left an eighth grade student injured. Concerns regarding our own children and their appropriate behavior immediately come to focus as we all assume “Not my kid” and possibly fear we might not trust all of their adolescent choices. lady.jpg In light of those important conversations, this week we share gender specific guides to help parents raise civilized members of society.

How to Raise a Lady: A Civilized Guide to Helping Your Daughter Through Her Uncivilized Childhood by Kay West

In this revised and expanded edition, author Kay West reiterates the lasting lessons of being a lady, but also guides parents in teaching their young daughters how to navigate through modern social situations with grace. The book provides stories, suggestions, and ideas for parents to set their young daughters on the path of appropriate behavior. How to Raise a Lady focuses on real-life topics such as sleepovers, sex, religion, and politics with twenty-two useful chapters that include “Computers, the Internet, and Social Media,” “Mean Girls and Bullying,” and “Modesty, Boundaries, and Appropriate Attire.”

Kay West offers this updated and revised edition to help parents teach their young boys that learning appropriate behavior can set the course for success or disappointment throughout his entire life. He might be a rough-and-tumble little boy but it doesn’t hurt for him to learn about appropriate hygiene, temper issues, and good sportsmanship from an early age. Parents can learn how to help their young man act at a formal dinner, meet the parents of his sweetheart, and learn confidence along the way.

“Good manners are born from common courtesy and common courtesy is quite simple. Courtesy is based on respect, civility, kindness, and consideration. It is being mindful of others, whether you are in their presence or not.” Kay West
