This time of year, kids and even adults, dress up in costume for the fun of what is commonly known as Halloween. Although children may be dressed like monsters…..do you know what is considered monster manners?

Be sure to teach your children to not make comments about the candy given….if it is not their favorite or even liked, it is not good manners to say things like…."Don’t you have anything else” or “I do not like that kind of candy”. 

No matter what kind of candy is given, the correct response is simply thank- you.

As Forrest Gump would say, remember, life is like that bag of candy, you never know what you are going to get…..this is an ideal time to teach your children to be gracious.
