Living To Be A Parent: Is Child-Rearing the New Self-Actualization? | |
There was a wonderful article written by Lisa Belkin, featured in the New York Times Magazine recently, that raised some interesting questions about the new all-consuming role of parenting and how overparenting has resulted in dependent children well into their 20's. She states that while the overparenting "has better prepared these children for college, it has less prepared them for life" and that parents today have "lost sight of the true goal of parenting which is to make themselves unnecessary."

Greetings!
Fall conjures up images of a new school year, fabulous Fall clothing, and a sometimes reluctant return to responsibility. You can make the most of this opportunity by embracing the change and beginning anew with a focus on something that never seems to go out fashion no matter what the season, and that is your good manners.
Our September issue is chock full of resources for both young and old to make the transition back to school and back to work that much easier. Our "Back to School Manners -The College Years" provides older children with a list of guidelines for putting their best foot forward on the college campus. The recent press we received on KTLA demonstrates how fun it can be to learn good manners and that one is never too young to begin. This month's "From the Source" article is graciously provided by Jonathan Bruckner of Tiffany & Co. who shares his invaluable insights on how good manners are directly linked with style and taste.
This September also marked the second season of our "Let's Dance!" Cotillion and we feel so fortunate to have many more schools participating this year. The program is off to a terrific start and our students, thanks to the instruction of our new teacher, Danny Ponickly, will be dancing like the stars in no time!
We are making excellent progress on our new Beverly Hills Manners App and should have everything finalized for it's release next month. For a sneak peak, click here! While you're patiently awaiting your etiquette coach in the palm of your hand, we are pleased to offer a wealth of programs for all ages as well as private instruction for those wishing to refine their skills in a more discreet manner. Please feel free to contact us to register or make an appointment.
Warmest regards,
