Teaching Old School Manners

Monday, August 30, 2010
A repost from Peytyn Willborn.

Nowadays people rarely look at each other and speak in passing. Saying "please" and "thank you" are becoming exceptions rather than norms. Respect and manners seem to be quickly disappearing from society.

 

To ensure this does not happen, Tara Jackson, Founder and Director of Spirit of Beauty (Spirit) and author of Diva Alphabet, is determined to instill old school manners in young people today.

 

Jackson remembers when "there were always etiquette schools and programs" in her home state of Alabama.
Such programs did not exist when she moved to Chicago in 1989. When she had children of her own,
she was inspired to lead by example. She also wanted to expose children in the community to good manners.
Her desire led her to begin Spirit of Beauty, a social development and empowerment program that has
been teaching etiquette, self-respect and respect for others and confidence to girls ages 4 to 6 for over eight years.

 

Her commitment to young people has grown to include both The Distinguished Gentleman program, where boys
ages 12 to 16 are groomed for success through professional and social development, proper manners,
and interviewing skills, and Future Leaders Camp, a summer camp for boys and girls ages 5 to 16 that incorporates Junior Achievement and family unity while serving as a safe haven for participants. All programs are "centered around creating a mind set of success and respect for self and others."   |  Original article
