Are We Still Doing Manners?

Amy's book Happy to Help: Adventures of a People Pleaser is coming in January 2025. Pre-order your copy!

How important is it to teach our kids the manners that we ourselves learned as children? Which social niceties should we keep up with and which ones should we discard? In this episode, Amy and Margaret discuss:

  • How manners have sometimes been used as gatekeeping tools in the past
  • What to do when you disagree with other grownups about the manners that matter for your kids
  • Why we think the manners that center kindness are the ones that really matter

  • Here are links to some of the resources mentioned in the episode:

    • Tamar Adler for The New York Times: "A Manners Manifesto"
    • Sophie Kiderlin for CNBC's Make It: "Americans are least likely to care about kids having good manners. Here’s what they prioritize instead"
    • Clare Finney for Vogue: "Gen-Z Doesn’t Care About Table Manners. So What?"
    • David Lowry for Parents.com: "22 Simple Manners All Kids Should Know"
