A child's initial training ground to shape behavior starts at home. Parents are responsible for teaching their children manners, etiquette, social skills, rules and principles to interact with people and navigate through life successfully. Unfortunately, all kids don't get the same basic teachings because of various circumstances that exist in the home. No matter what misfortune kids face, respect of others, appropriate behavior in formal and informal settings and basic rules and principles are essential. Social skills, manners, etiquette, rules and principles are important for every child, teen and young adult. In Brenda Diann Johnson's book "Life Lessons Kids Should Learn Quickly," she covers principles, rules and lessons that kids should embrace as they journey from child to adult.
