George Washington's Rules of Civility & Decent Behaviour In Company and Conversation

Show me your children’s heroes and I will show you their future. This is because true success is achieved through true character, and true character is caught by examples which inspire. Individuals who realize at a young age, that behavior, discipline, and conviction are the paths to prosperity will be set up for true kingdom success. One of the best assignments we ever gave our children was to copy George Washington’s Rules of Civility and Behavior by hand on lined paper. Not only did our kids learn manners but also spelling, vocabulary, penmanship and so much more. George Washington wrote these down sometime between the ages of 12 and 14 before he pursued surveying. Inspire your children from great works from the past.
