This is so perfect for me to reach out to my grandsons, ages 12 and 14, to share with them these weekly life-tips. They were both heading off to camp and I texted them the first item on the calendar, "Introduce Yourself." They were very receptive to this because it was written to them on their level. Today I texted the 2nd week's "Pitch In" and they each responded positively. The 3 of us look forward to each week's directive. I'm extremely happy with this purchase.
I'm a therapist and I have two teen daughters. I love this modern manners display. I have strategically put it in their bathroom across from the commode where they can't help but see it and read it : )
The content is so important and valuable, yet often overlooked in discussions and direct teaching with kids and teens. I'm so glad to have this!
Fantastic!!!! Worth every penny!!!
I have my 3 grandsons every weekend at my house. I decided we would set it up and flip one a week. There’s always plenty to talk about when trying to raise them into young men.I love the thought that has gone into this flip book. And the deeper explanation on the other side to generate more conversations. So good!!! Thank you so much .
Exactly what I was looking for with my teenagers! It fits perfectly into our daily routine! We leave it open on the counter for our kids to read as they wish. At supper time, I bring it to the table while we're eating and have one of my teens read one side out loud. I then read the other side (since they speak about the same idea, but with a little different wordage). Then we discuss for about 5 minutes. All of the pages are concepts/understandings I want my kids to have and I love how you have put it into an easy to use resource for the busy family. Thank you!
I love having the Modern Manners flip book on my counter. I alternate which side is displayed daily of a single topic. I also read it one on one with my teens who roll their eyes and smile at me but I know they are hearing me. I also seem randomly reading it while waiting at the microwave or eating cereal in the morning. After 7 days, flip to the new topic. Love it!
Love it! My 16 year old daughter has level 1 autism with a pda (pervasive drive for autonomy) profile, so it’s hard for me to teach her, she needs to feel in control all the time. This passive messaging is perfect for us. She actually mentioned she put her phone on silent before being dropped off at an event the other day. I thought, it’s working! So thank you!
It’s been a great thing to have at our breakfast bar!
Great tips for everyone! Nice display for your kitchen or family area.
I really enjoy the time we spend as a family talking about each topic. I look forward to reading each page. Thank you!
Fast shipping, fun way to review manners with my teenagers!
It's a great conversation starter for important things we forget to talk about.
Love this flipchart! I am sharing them with my middle school classes this fall. Great design and messages.
Only used it for the past two weeks but so far i think it’s really great. I find that my 17 and 19 year-old both read it and actually don’t roll their eyes at it. lol It has some good tips
Love it! There are so many ways and times this can be used!
Well written! Each day holds something that we might take for granted but needs to be said or shared! I plan on using these (I bought both!) in my classroom. Great resource!
The content is great. My suggestion is to add a simple hole to hang the display from a hook or pin. Counter space is at a premium, and like a calendar, this display would be better on the wall, mirror, or bathroom door where it can be seen daily but not knocked down or moved constantly! ;)
The specific manners that were picked are so important and pertinent for our society today. I have set it on my kitchen counter where everyone can read it daily. Love it and love what it teaches!
Great - recommend
Good content and conversation starters for my daughter and I. I love it!
Great reminders for teens
Great for the whole family ! It's has awesome advice/manners and we love reading as a family each morning at breakfast.
Love this idea. I can just set it on the kitchen table and conversations naturally happen. Thank you!
It’s great reminder of basic manners and what can make us better people.
Love it!
We are really enjoying 52 Modern Manners. It's a great conversation starter. Even my kids' friends like to check to see what the daily manner is and although they may laugh at some of them, at least they are learning.
This is an excellently put together book. My son is actively reading the material and thinking on them. He asks questions. I'm very surprised.
It’s great!! We have it sitting in our kitchen as a reminder. Every time we sit at the dinner table with our teens for family dinner, we flip one page and talk about the topic. Makes me feel like I’m doing a good parenting job! ☺️
Super fabulous- actually having an effect on all of us.
For ex: my husband actually read it on is way out the door & proceeded to share with me that he introduced himself at the farmers market at one of the booths to the vendor & it was because he read this that morning!
It looks great on our table & it's fun to see what the next one says.. Def. get this!
Very easy to read with lots of truth and wisdom on each page.
