Not a few parents comment that today's children are different from the previous generation. Some people think that 'modern' children are rude and lack manners. Until there is an assumption that it is the result of wrong upbringing. Not infrequently we hear someone say, 'Didn't their parents teach them manners?'.

Hemm... It turns out that the problem is not because parents don't teach politeness, Mother. Educational psychologist Michele Borba, author of UnSelfie: Why Empathetic Kids Succeed in Our All-About-Me World, explains that when adults show how modesty is, it takes on its true meaning. When a child says 'excuse me' or 'thank you', they at least recognize the presence of the other person.
