Social Manners

Being a true modern gentleman and a genuine class act is increasingly rare. It is also more important now than ever before. What worked for the rat pack and the brat pack won’t work for you, and truth be told, it won’t work for anyone because that is old school. Manliness in the modern era is worth learning about, and the dividends will pay off for a lifetime. Not only will you bring joy to all those around you, you’ll be happier, too. Once you master this, you’ll live the good life.

Our children are precious gifts given to us by God. He entrusts us with their care and upbringing.

Just as children should be taught ritual acts of worship to God, they should also be taught good manners and etiquette at an early age until it becomes second nature. Learning manners should be taught even before learning other forms of knowledge. Every household should set aside time to build and grow their children's manners and etiquette.
