EP 154 | Just Need to Know Your Children WiIl Be Respectful & GOOD? Develop LEADERSHIP through ETIQUETTE & Kindness. With AMY RAINER, Etiquette With Amy
“I believe that practicing etiquette gives children practical ways to implement the virtues in Colossians 3:12.”
What are the top virtues you want to see grow in your children? What are you doing daily to grow these? If you said "leadership", did you know teaching etiquette and table manners at home can set your children up for a lifetime of success as a leader? Amy Rainer joins us on today's show to share with us her etiquette business. Using her 20 years of teaching elementary children, Amy has built a "school" of virtue for her students around her passion of teaching the values of respect, kindness, and compassion. Etiquette is way more than just raising polite children. Let's raise world changers who lead as bright lights in today's world.
Let's grow,
Jennifer

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS EPISODE!
“God used something that I saw as a huge negative, and he took me from what I thought was best for me, which was being a classroom teacher, into what he KNEW was best for me.”
You don’t reach that spot easily. “Bloom where you’re planted. When I was able to get a God view and a different perspective, I really do feel like I’m blooming where I’m planted.
We can look a certain way on the outside, but it’s what’s on the inside that counts.
When a child can see an actual physical representation of that, then they connect it and see that yes, it’s what’s on the inside that makes you beautiful.
Etiquette has two parts:
1. How we present ourselves
2. How we treat other people.
We have to have a blend of those to truly honor God in how we act and how we treat others.
Use teachable moments to show our children what different situations look like in action.
Patience is waiting without complaining.
These Godly virtues (Colossians 3:12) are at the bottom foundation of etiquette
A strong leader is trusted, someone you can confide in, someone who is kind to everyone.
You help your children develop this in your own home, over and over.
The conversations that parents have at dinner and in the car, that's where the true leadership building happens.
It takes an entire group of people that comes around to support this one little family.
All of these things are what helps develop these little leaders.
Set things up in your home where you have small moments to work on these values because they have long term benefits.
So much can be packed in and built upon when we use our small moments the right way and choose our words and the way we want to speak them to our children.
