Society is becoming increasingly casual. Peer pressure has never been greater. Role models are lacking. Reality shows present outrageous and obnoxious behavior as the norm.
Young ladies and gents learn by example and action, as well as from being told what to do. As a result, many children and teens have little experience with etiquette. It s no wonder that they often feel uncomfortable with new situations and people.
An American Association of University Women survey finds that 60% of elementary girls report being happy the way I am. But by junior high, sadly only 29% of the girls were happy. Researchers suggest peer pressure and environment directly affect self-esteem. Similar studies suggest boys fare no better in the self-esteem department.
Be the Best You Can Be, helps parents reinforce the importance and need for etiquette. Nothing costs less and at the same time is of more value than good manners.
The book acts as a gentle guide helping readers learn the quiet yet powerful art of self-confidence.
Being mannerly makes you a better person, more relaxed and confident, less nervous and insecure. Not only will you like yourself, others will like you too. It's easy to like someone who's an all-around nice person. Treating others with respect shows you respect yourself. Everyone benefits.
Being your Best helps you: Learn to like yourself. Be happy and confident. Possess self-control and thus handle any situation.
Be the Best You Can Be. It's not only a motto - it's a way of life. --Jim Conover
