―Penelope Keith
The other
day, I was at one of my children's schools and a group of six or seven 8th
Graders walked by me. I know most of
them, but only one acknowledged me and said hello. He happens to be the son of a friend of mine
and I know that his parents emphasize kindness and courtesy. Greeting someone is a very basic kindness,
which honors the person who is being greeted as well as the greeter. Kindness begins when we think of the other
person. Parents who teach their children manners are being kind both to their children and to the people with whom their children come into contact.
