Courtesy & Kindness
Posted by Lisa Hendey in News on Thursday, August 04, 2011 10:18 PM
On this week’s episode of the Faith & Family Live Cast (click here to listen or click on the player above), Rebecca, Hallie and I take on a topic raised recently by Rebecca at the blog. Join our fascinating discussion on regional differences in issues such as what is considered courteous behavior and language. What do you teach your children about small talk and how to make it? What kind of example do you set? What feels “natural” to you and what feels uncomfortable? Have you ever stepped outside of your comfort zone and been glad that you did? Do you handle this differently at your church, at the post office, or at your kids’ school?
This week’s Faith & Family Feature Product is the incredible “Beat the Heat August Giveaway” over at CatholicMom.com. Enter to win tons of great prizes, including books, music, products and more!
In our final segment, we ponder whether kindness is contagious. A recent post by Kate Wicker and another by Matt Archbold raise the topic of times when we’ve gone out of our way to show kindness. Have you ever reached out to someone in need and been glad that you did? How do you encourage your children to do the same? do you have any heart-warming stories to tell about acts of kindness that have touched your life or your children’s lives?
