Why don't parents teach their kids manners?

Fortunately, my kids never 'stared' or made comments about handicapped or impaired people when they encountered them. If they had questions, they would ask me about it later. I was a volunteer at a facility for handicapped adults, so my kids were familiar with disabilities.

Unfortunately, I often hear kids ask, usually in a very LOUD voice, such questions as: "Why does that man have only one leg?" "Why can't that lady talk right?" or "Why is that person all bent over?" I see this as an 'attention-getting' thing for the kids. I would have been horrified if my children had made such comments!

My grandchildren are the same. They would never stare or comment about a person's disability...but rather ask me about it later. Like my children, my grandchildren seem to have a 6th sense to hold open the door, pick up something that the person has dropped, or assist the person in getting something off a shelf at the store.

Maybe it is genetic!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
