Extractions: BIO Dan Zevin is the author of ENTRY-LEVEL LIFE, THE NEARLY-WED HANDBOOK, and THE DAY I TURNED UNCOOL. He lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Zevin provides comic relief as he and his fans face their next transition from twentysomething to thirtysomething, and embarrassed to find themselves acting their age. A Talk with Author Dan Zevin Q: Let's start with the title. What really is "uncool" about being an adult? DZ: Well, by the end of the book, I discover that it's very cool to be an adult, but it only comes after I have a little midlife crisis. Most people start feeling uncool when they start feeling like their parents. You spend your twenties and before that your teen years coming up with a definition of "cool" that is usually the furthest thing from your parents. But once you hit your thirties, you just kind of find yourself turning into them. It all really comes down to adjusting to a new definition of "cool." And for some of us, like, say…me, the adjustment phase just takes a little longer. Maybe it's a guy thing.

Extractions: Indicia Teaching young people about manners and being polite goes beyond old-fashioned notions about charm and etiquette its about respect. When kids (and adults) show courtesy and manners, they also show respect for other people. Rules of civil behavior are extremely important in the family, the school, the workplace and the entire community. The courtesy shown to others builds a positive web of human relationships. These relationships contribute significantly toward a healthy and positive moral climate in which to live. Adults show kids that all people deserve respect by being kind, helpful, patient and polite to people they come in contact with every day inside and outside of their families. When should adults start to teach children about manners and the importance of being polite? The earlier, the better! Even very young children can be taught the building blocks of manners saying please and thank you. When children learn to say Im sorry for something theyve done wrong, they learn to be accountable for their actions and behaviors. Parents and other adults need to use these phrases routinely so that children begin to understand the terms and how and why theyre used. Provide positive encouragement and compliment children when they speak kindly and politely to others.

She soon noticed that the parents were asking just as many questions as their kids, and realized there was a demand for adult etiquette training.

Extractions: Home Autism Center Home The following excerpt is taken from Chapter 9 of Pervasive Developmental Disorders: Finding a Diagnosis and Getting Help In the effort to tackle basic skills and then academic skills, social skills are sometimes left in the lurch. Schools are the primary social venue for children, but many schools are unsure how to fit social skills into their curriculum. Community organizations that convey the social graces to "normal" children, such as Scouting and religious youth groups, may be unprepared to deal with a child whose social skills are far behind his peers. And even children who interact well with their siblings may not be able to carry these skills over easily to socializing with unfamiliar children and adults. Not surprisingly, many children and adults with PDDs find themselves ostracized due to barbaric manners, inability to tackle the back-and-forth of playground conversation, and difficulty in reading common social cues. It's not their faultthese skills do not come naturally to people on the autistic spectrum, and parents are usually so busy teaching other essentials that messy eating habits and such are the least of their worries. But for the person without positive social skills, true inclusion in the workplace and community will be elusive. Note to adults with PDDs: Some people might be surprised to learn that many adults with PDDs are avid readers of books about etiquette, protocol, and body language. These books spell out the things that everyone else seems to know. Others take courses in psychology or anthropology, or tackle self-help books that promise to teach readers how to be successful in work, life, and love. Depending on the book or course, this can be a good approach for many adults.

Home Education Information Pages - Why Home Educate? Children learn that from watching adults do things in an adult world in our own cultureusing what we as a family consider to be good manners and etiquette. http://www.home-ed.co.uk/whyhomeed.html
Extractions: M ore and more parents are realising that it is up to them how their children are raised and are taking their responsibility seriously. H ome Education allows us, as parents, to seriously think about what it really means to be a parent and be responsible for another life. It gives us a real reason to look hard at 'education' and see what it really means to us. T raditionally we have been led to believe that the purpose of education is to enable a person to earn a living. Perhaps we also believe it is to help us solve problems, learn to cope with difficult circumstances, or even to help us out with a social life. We believe that the only way to be successful is to grasp the rudiments of a certain box of knowledge, decided on by other people, and to pass an exam which proves we have done it. C ertainly, in order to pursue certain careers one needs an accepted qualification. Gone are the days when one learned thoroughly through apprenticeship. These specialised qualifications, however, are achieved in specialised institutions such as colleges and universities. The trend, therefore, is to assume that the purpose of school is to gain employment or to enter university in order to follow a more specialised career.

Good Manners Means Being Kind Learning the rules of etiquette has other rewards, of course. The best way to teachgood manners is to model kindness and respect that you do your adult friends http://www.pathfinder.minot.com/plaintext/lit/N-01.html
Extractions: Pathfinder Family Center Back to Main Page Contact Us About Us Pathfinder Resources ... Links We used to devote a lot of attention to what was called etiquette, or good manners. At some point, people started to think that many of the rules seemed silly, or artificial. Why should we worry about teaching our children how to introduce people to one another? What difference could it possibly make whether children called adults by Mr. or Ms. and their last name? It seems that we forgot what having good manners is really about. The rules of etiquette got in the way of the purpose: being kind to one another. Saying "please" and "thank you" eases the hard corners of life. Learning the rules of etiquette has other rewards, of course. Just one example is listening, a very important social skill. Not only is it impolite to talk when someone else is talking, it also gets in the way of learning. Children need to become good listeners. (So do parents!) The best way to teach good manners is to model them for your child. Praise her for following the rules: "Thank you for not interrupting my phone call. Now Im free to help you with the puzzle." Treat her with the same kindness and respect that you do your adult friends. As always, you will get better results by praising for success than you will by punishing for failure. Knowing how to behave in ways that are expected and accepted has other benefits for children. The approval that comes from doing the right thing builds confidence. Knowing how to behave makes a child feel competent. And we know that self-esteem thrives on competence and confidence.

Extractions: This past week, a woman called 9-1-1 with an emergency. She was driving when the incident occurred, and the beginning conversation went something like this: Woman: "I've been shot in the head" 9-1-1: "Where are you?" Woman: "I'm in my car. A man cut in front of me so I cut in front of him and he shot me. In the head." Along the same theme, the Los Angeles Times had an editorial (March 8th) discussing a sample of rude interactions at a school board meeting. The pastor of a local church made a request to a women's ministries group to offer etiquette classes to both children and adults at their church. Mayor Rudolph W. Guiliani of New York City wants schools to teach civility, and all citizens to behave less rudely. Sociologist Norbert Elias, in his book The Civilizing Process , states in the 14th and 15th centuries, monarchs took control of their courtiers by insisting on some simple rules of behavior at court. Don't hit. Eat with a fork, not with the knife (reduces violent fights at high table). Self-control, even the way one greeted another or stood in a group, began at court, hence the word 'courtesy'. Taking turns required patience and self-restraint. Rules of etiquette made courtly social relations less impulsive, and impulse is what usually led to violence. Impulse control, on the other hand, led to order.
