Been working with my 8 year old on basic manners and respect. Had him open the door for his mom yesterday and the look on her face was priceless. Small gestures matter fellas. It's about instilling values that'll stick with him his whole life. A man should always look after those around him, especially the women in his life. Anyone else making sure their kids learn this stuff early?
Love this. Manners and respect don't just happen, you gotta be intentional about it like you're doing. Respect to you for taking the time.
That's awesome man, those little moments stick with them. My 8 year old does the same thing now and it's wild how proud he gets when someone notices.
Love it. Teaching them respect early pays dividends down the road. Your son's gonna remember that positive reaction from his mom.
That's awesome man. My son is 8 too and we've been working on the same thing. The door holding has become a real point of pride for him now, which is cool to see.

This is the way. Teaching them respect early makes such a difference. My kids are older now and it stuck with them, so you're planting seeds that actually grow.
