MANNERS AS A POWERFUL NEW AGE TOOL

Hi Everyone,
I am new to the site so this is my first venture into advice and I see there has been quite a bit of discussion on manners. I have found that children find manners difficult to use when forced to do so. However if we all use manners and everything flows smoothly as a result then it is easy to teach. BUT I have an even easier tip, one I used in my book, and what prompted me to deliver this advice was my 21 year old son making a remarkable observation on Mothers Day - what a present!
'So many people are rude, show no manners and come off second best!  Why? Manners are so easy to do, use and everyone thinks I am a good bloke - it is JUST SO EASY - I don't get why others don't use manners too.  Well I hope you can image my delight when he said that and  yes I  did develop a fit of the giggles as well!

So here is the tip. Manners make us more powerful people and when you can teach your children this method they will be amazed. Many have said in the past 'no way - try again'  but it is mostly the same result every time. Using a form of kinesiology testing you can measure the effect the use of manners has on the power of your body.

To test you need a partner. One partner (call them Buddy) does the testing while the other person is the one being tested (Friend).  Friend holds their arm out at shoulder height and Buddy pushes the arm down to test what level of energy (resistance) friend has - just to get the strength measurement - not an arm wrestle. Next Friend is to think or say rude things about someone. Buddy tests the strength and generally  Friend is weaker. Next friend thinks or says polite things about the same person. Buddy tests Friend and will find they have gained strength. Next Friend can say lots of nice manners to the space around them and buddy will find an improvement in strength. Now swap roles and see how you go. Kids love this game and nearly all resolve to use manners. There was one who didn't and he just told me 'no I like being mean' - well that is his choice.
Love to all Mothers.
