How to teach your child good manners (Tip: you need to practise them too)

Parenting approaches evolve over time. In the old days, parents were stricter and had no qualms using physical punishments if their children were rude.

Today’s parents are usually more lax in their approaches, and their children may become spoilt and lack manners. This does not mean that parents have to be harsh on their children.
