Laura Ingraham hosted Faye de Muyshondt, author of "Social Skills for Success".
De Muyshondt is writing a book on appropriate social skills. She offers classes on social skills where children are not allowed to use words such as like, you know, etc..
De Muyshondt started offering her classes to help young people become presentable as adults in the workplace. She said the most common offenses of young people are their lack of social skills in person and online. She said kids don't understand the impact that photos and words can communicate to others. She said young people call adults by their first names, not showing respect. She said that in the past, the examples of adults ensured that young people don't absorb good etiquette and behaviors.
De Muyshondt said she isn't perfect, but that there aren't great examples - the reason for her classes. She said it can't all be corrective, but instructive.
Great feature and thank you! The book can be pre-ordered here http://amzn.to/ZjOIES The concept is teaching the skills and how to do so in a fun and engaging way, without assuming kids pick up good social skills on their own and then correcting them for things they've never learned. Thanks again!
