Dr.Harleen Kaur feels :"Good Manners Will Broaden The Horizons of the child, Which The Best Education Cannot".

"Inculcating Good Manners in children" 

While we teach curriculum to the kids let’s not forget good manners, which make them better. So at Mount Carmel International School,Naraingarh(Ambala) We take great care to inculcate the moral values in the children.

In simple terms Good Manners means "Well Bred Social Behavior". Well I personally as a mother, or as a teacher think teaching good manners are as difficult as brushing your teeth twice daily. As a Principal of a school  I myself have been motivating children to behave well.Here are tested and tried ways to make kids better socially:

 1. When entering the house after your work,even if you are tired, greet your children and hug them. This will help  in developing their sense of love and self worth. 

2.  Always be good to your neighbors and never backbite. Never speak ill of other  people  as your children would listen and emulate.

3. When calling your parents, encourage your children to speak to them. When visiting your parents take your children with you. The more they see you take care of your parents the more they will learn to take care of you.

4. When driving them to school, don't always play music in the car. Rather, tell them some motivational stories. This will have a greater impact.

5. Read to them a short story  before going to bed – it doesn't take much time, but will create an impact in creating strong bonds and wonderful memories. 

6. Comb your hair, clean your teeth and wear presentable cloths even if sitting at home and not going out for the day. They need to learn that being clean and tidy has nothing to do with going out.

7. Try not to blame or comment on every word or action they say or do. Learn to overlook and let go sometimes. This certainly builds their self-confidence.

8. Ask your children's permission before entering their rooms. Don't just knock and enter, but then wait for a verbal permission. They will learn to do the same when wanting to enter your room.

9. Apologize to your children if you made a mistake. Apologizing teaches them to be humble and polite.

10. Don't be sarcastic or make fun of their views or feelings, even if you didn't mean and was only joking. It really hurts and mentally upsets them.

11. Show respect to your children and their privacy. Its important for their sense of value and self-esteem.

12. Don't expect that they will listen or understand the first time. Don't get annoyed. But be patient and consistent.

13.Pray with them. Show them how to pray. Lead by example.

14.Hold them and bless them specially every morning.
