Teaching My Son to Shake a Man's Hand Properly
My 8 year old had his first real handshake with my business partner last week and I have to say I was proud. Before we went to the meeting I sat him down and showed him how to grip firm but not aggressive, look the man in the eye, and say his name clear and confident. My father taught me the same way when I was young. It's a small thing but it matters. A handshake tells a man what kind of person you are. These days kids are glued to screens and don't learn basics like this anymore. Been making it a point with all three of mine.
That's awesome man. The handshake thing seems small but it's not. My 8 year old nailed his first real handshake with my business partner and the guy was genuinely impressed. It opens doors for kids when they're confident about stuff like that.
