										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p lang="en-AU">Think children toys did not evolve into the new modern, hands-free era? Well, as a huge surprise for both kids and adults, they did. For quite some time now, radio controlled toys have been a great hit on the toy market. The wide range of toys includes a palette of cars, trucks, trains, boats, airplanes and helicopters mainly. There are also a lot of robots and dolls working on this principle. They&#8217;re all designed for children of certain ages and some of them are so sophisticated that it is even not advisable to be used without parent supervision. So, why instead of simple, ordinary toys, you should <a href="http://www.mydeal.com.au/baby-and-kids/rc-toys" target="_blank"><b>buy RC toys</b></a>? Well, the reasons are endless. Take a look.<span id="more-1583"></span></p>
<p lang="en-AU"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1584" src="http://www.reasonsto.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/RC-toys.gif" alt="RC-toys" width="600" height="418" /></p>
<h2 class="western">A Lot More Fun</h2>
<p lang="en-AU">RC toys are far more fun than ordinary toys. Just imagine the thrill of children when they realize their toys can move on their own with the hitting of a single button. Even adults find RC toys amusing; seeing a small toy moving by itself across the pavement speeding and slowing down as the user controls the speed, screams fun. And it is kind of hypnotizing, you simply cannot get enough of it! Go on, admit it, I know you love it too.</p>
<h2 class="western">The Competition</h2>
<p lang="en-AU">This goes for all boys who simply have it running in their veins: car racing is the ultimate thing! Maybe you cannot be involved in an actual car race, but you definitely can race with your buddy or sibling with RC cars. Or robots! Oh, the thrill of touching the finish line! Don&#8217;t be shy, you do want to try it – and no worries, you can. Buy RC toys so you can experience the excitement of winning and finishing in a race first.</p>
<h2 class="western">Learning New Skills: Modeling, Mechanical and Electronics</h2>
<p lang="en-AU">RC toys are really pieces of art; they are perfectly designed to be appealing to the eye, and they move only with pushing a single button! By analyzing a radio controlled toy you can easily learn how to design toys of this kind, how to make them look more realistic, how the driving motor works, and how everything in the toy is connected so that it functions perfectly as a whole. And not just you as an adult, but your kid as well. Who knows, maybe he will develop love for engineering one day.</p>
<h2 class="western">RC Toys Are Good for Socializing</h2>
<p lang="en-AU">Who&#8217;s the coolest kid on the playground? The one with the walking robot? Or maybe the one with the flying helicopter? Your kid will instantly become the center or attention once a RC toy is in his hand. Well, not all kids have RC toys and of course everyone will gather around him to play with the toy! And making new friends with other kids that play with RC toys is a lot easier when you have the same interests.</p>
<h2 class="western">Developing an Interest Is Easier</h2>
<p lang="en-AU">RC toys, especially cars, are mainly designed to resemble famous cars from the real world, like those from NASCAR, Bigfoot, Grave Digger or El Toro Loco. This will eventually develop an interest in these events, which can easily be defined as cultural symbols of the 21st century. I mean, who doesn&#8217;t love NASCAR? Don&#8217;t think of it as a possible way for developing an obsession, but more like nurturing a healthy interest in something that may shape the future of your kid. The next Jeff Gordon? Maybe.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you take a look at any playground, you will see that slides are the most popular and children&#8217;s most favourite items to play on. And how they wouldn&#8217;t be when sliding is so exciting and fun. Moreover, slides are much safer when compared to other playground toys.</p>
<p>If you were to leave your children on a playground, I am sure they would spend all day carelessly going up and down on all <a href="http://www.mydeal.com.au/baby-and-kids/outdoor-play/playground-equipment/slides" target="_blank"><b>kids outdoor slides</b></a> available. We all love our children, but frankly, noone has the time to spend an entire day watching them playing on the slides a hundred times. So to make these sweet problems easier, why not surprise your little ones, get them a slide and put in in your backyard? They will be over the moon. Having doubts whether you should do it? Stop right there. Kids outdoor slides will turn your garden or backyard into their favourite playing destination.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1581" src="http://www.reasonsto.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Outdoor-Slides.gif" alt="Outdoor-Slides" width="600" height="397" /></p>
<ul>
<li><i>Sliding is a Great Form of Exercise </i></li>
</ul>
<p>Sliding down and climbing back to the top to repeat the fun is a type of physical activity that helps children burn calories, strengthen their bones and muscles and learn balance and coordination. Another advantage of this activity, in particular climbing up the leader is that it strengthens cardiovascular health. Also, by being physically active children develop healthy habits for exercising.</p>
<ul>
<li><i>Spending Time Outdoors is Great for Children&#8217;s Health </i></li>
</ul>
<p>There&#8217;s no doubt that playing under the sun on fresh air, is far better that watching TV or playing video games all day long. Playing outdoors is extremely beneficial for developing stronger immune system since when exposed to dirt and bacteria, children&#8217;s immune system is stimulated. Also, sunlight is the best natural source of vitamin D, one of the most important vitamins that help protect health and prevent various diseases.</p>
<ul>
<li><i>You&#8217;ll Always Know Where Your Kids Are </i></li>
</ul>
<p>While looking for things to do and places to have fun at, you can easily lose sight of your children. However, having kids outdoor slides in your garden will make you worry less as you will know where they are.</p>
<ul>
<li><i>Great Addition for Great Summer Fun </i></li>
</ul>
<p>By adding water to the slide you will for surely bring the summer fun to a superior level. Water will cool down the heated metal and plastic, which will make the perfect water temperature for many exciting moments on the slides.</p>
<ul>
<li><i>Resale Value </i></li>
</ul>
<p>Kids outdoor slides are made of high-quality materials and are made to last for years and years. This means that when your kids will grow up, you can sell the slides. However, that does not mean you will have to give them away for half the price you bought them, or less. In general, slides do not lose their resale value, meaning that you will not lose a significant amount of money if you decide to sell them.</p>

		<title>Reasons Why Cubby Houses Are Good for Your Children</title>

					<description><![CDATA[When I first saw the cubby house (large one, almost like an extra room with a rooftop), I said to my husband: “There&#8217;s no&#46;&#46;&#46;]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I first saw the cubby house (large one, almost like an extra room with a rooftop), I said to my husband: “There&#8217;s no way I&#8217;m putting that in my backyard and taking care of it. I have an entire house to look after, I won&#8217;t sign up for another one.” And can you blame me? It looked like an extra bedroom for my children! But, since my husband always answers to my impulsive reactions, and has great persuasive powers, he somehow made me think twice about it. And it did not take me long to change my mind.<span id="more-1564"></span></p>
<p>First thing about <a href="http://www.mydeal.com.au/baby-and-kids/outdoor-play/playground-equipment/cubby-houses" target="_blank"><b>childrens chubby houses</b></a> is that they are made to be part of children&#8217;s play time. And since they&#8217;re made for kids to play in them, they can&#8217;t be too much of a trouble to take care of. Another thing to have in mind is that as a large toy, your kids will be occupied most of the time, providing you with some much needed free time for yourself. Here are a few reasons to make you give the childrens chubby houses a second thought:</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1565" src="http://www.reasonsto.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Childrens-Cubby-House.jpg" alt="Childrens Cubby House" width="600" height="402" srcset="https://www.reasonsto.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Childrens-Cubby-House.jpg 600w, https://www.reasonsto.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Childrens-Cubby-House-300x201.jpg 300w, https://www.reasonsto.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Childrens-Cubby-House-150x101.jpg 150w, https://www.reasonsto.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Childrens-Cubby-House-302x202.jpg 302w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></p>
<h2 class="western">Gaining Independence</h2>
<p>Don&#8217;t get carried away, it&#8217;s not like your kids will learn what making their own dinner means. But with their minds so untouched by the outer environment and faced with certain difficulties, children start to think and solve their own problems. Childrens chubby houses are <a href="http://mumsgrapevine.com.au/2014/11/cool-cubbies/" target="_blank"><b>designed almost like real houses</b></a> (just in a lot smaller, cuter version), and when overcoming certain obstacles designed to make them think of a solution, kids feel a lot more confident about their moves. So, safe and teaching – advantage no. 1.</p>
<h2 class="western">Developing Social Skills</h2>
<p>True, kindergardens are a nice place to bring a lot of kids together to develop their social skills, but a chubby house in the backyard, with your hidden support will allow your kids to master social skills. Arranging a play date for yours and the kids from the neighborhood? Legos are great, but wait until other children see the chubby house: excitement levels will reach the sky! Plus, what better way for kids to communicate, learn team work and make friends?</p>
<h2 class="western">Creativity Overload!</h2>
<p>A chubby house can be so many things to children: a hospital, a home, a school, a rocket and practically anything their little minds can think of. And as such, a chubby house brings the best out of children, making you realize that all children are creative in their own unique way. And just wait and see; you&#8217;ll be surprised by all the things children think they can play in a chubby house.</p>
<h2 class="western">The Good, Unplugged Way of Entertainment</h2>
<p>We live in the era of technology, smart phones, lap tops and game consoles that literally trap children in front of monitors keeping them away from all the beautiful things the outside world has to offer. Sunny days are spend inside, the loud, inexplicably kind noise of laughter is reduced and children grow to be closed, emotionally disabled with no actual childhood full of knee wounds, a few drops of blood, a lot of sweat from running around and no tears because of harmless quarrels. No way I&#8217;m allowing that for my children, so buying a chubby house is a good start to get them out in the open and make them create their own fun.</p>
<h2 class="western">The Precious “You” Time – Your Benefit</h2>
<p>What would you do if you knew your kids are busy playing in the backyard in a chubby house, completely obsessed with some game? Maybe you will finish dusting and making some clothes arrangement in the bedroom? Or maybe make yourself a nice cocktail, sit on a chair outside and read a book while sunbathing? Exactly – you will have enough “me” time to take a breath and continue being the &#8216;supermom&#8217; you are.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the Mother&#8217;s Day approaching, all the attention is already focused on mothers. Truth be told, mothers really deserve it! And not only on the second Sunday of May, but every single day!</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1377" src="http://www.reasonsto.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/without-mom-no-us.jpg" alt="without-mom-no-us" width="600" height="579" srcset="https://www.reasonsto.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/without-mom-no-us.jpg 600w, https://www.reasonsto.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/without-mom-no-us-300x290.jpg 300w, https://www.reasonsto.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/without-mom-no-us-150x145.jpg 150w, https://www.reasonsto.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/without-mom-no-us-302x291.jpg 302w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></p>
<p>I personally use this holiday as a chance to express my gratitude to my mother. There are many things I&#8217;m grateful for, but to put them all down in words will take me a week, or even more. So, I&#8217;ll focus on the most important life lesson my mother taught me – working mums rock!</p>
<p>It is because of her that I have high respect for full-time working mums. And this is helping me succeed on both personal and professional front. Thanks to her, I enjoy the satisfaction of both parenting and working. Here are my 11 facts that prove working mums rock!</p>
<h2 class="western">1. Working Mums Are Role Models For Their Children</h2>
<p>Let&#8217;s be straightforward, what defines our lives are the things we&#8217;ve learned from our parents. Seeing my mum coming home from work tired, but still with enough strength and energy to perform home tasks and chores, is the proof that everything in life is possible. No matter what the obstacles on your journey are, you can always achieve your goals.</p>
<h2 class="western">2. My Financial Contribution Means Better Today And Tomorrow For My Kids</h2>
<p>Not only does my paycheck satisfies my personal needs and &#8216;wants&#8217;, but it also helps me ensure a better life for my children.</p>
<h2 class="western">3. I&#8217;m Free To Make My Own Decisions</h2>
<p>This is one of the benefits that come with being financially independent. I don&#8217;t feel guilty when I splurge on a pair of new shoes, a handbag or a piece of cloth. I love the fact that I do not owe explication to anybody about how I spend the money.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1378" src="http://www.reasonsto.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/work-at-home-mom.jpg" alt="work-at-home-mom" width="600" height="277" srcset="https://www.reasonsto.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/work-at-home-mom.jpg 600w, https://www.reasonsto.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/work-at-home-mom-300x139.jpg 300w, https://www.reasonsto.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/work-at-home-mom-150x69.jpg 150w, https://www.reasonsto.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/work-at-home-mom-302x139.jpg 302w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></p>
<h2 class="western">4. My Kids Have The Chance To Become Independent Early</h2>
<p>Being a possessive mum is NOT good for your children. Over-parenting is a huge mistake. It negatively affects your kids&#8217; mental health in the long run. Believe me, your kids really need you to be absent to learn to be independent and to understand that mommy and daddy will not always be there to do things for them.</p>
<h2 class="western">5. Working Mums Are Far More Self-Confident Than The Stay-At-Home Mums</h2>
<p>I can&#8217;t imagine spending my days dressed in my husband&#8217;s baggy shirts. Yes, it&#8217;s true when all you do is cooking, washing dishes and changing diapers, you have no time nor pay attention to your looks. That&#8217;s why working mums rock. They are concerned with their outer appearance and make sure they always look tip-top.</p>
<h2 class="western">6. I Enjoy Adult Interaction</h2>
<p>Being a stay-at-home mum means you spend most of your time with your kids. What I missed most during my maternity leave was the interaction with adults. Simply put, I missed the dose of office gossip, sharing thoughts with my colleagues and talking about reports, customers and current events regarding work.</p>
<h2 class="western">7. Working Mums Enjoy A Happier Marriage</h2>
<p>According to many studies, in marriages where both partners work, the marital satisfaction is higher than in the marriages where only one of the spouses has a full-time job. Being focused on something other than home, and the absence of a financial pressure are the two important segments that contribute to a successful and happy marriage.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1376" src="http://www.reasonsto.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/happiness-mom-like-you.jpg" alt="happiness-mom-like-you" width="400" height="398" srcset="https://www.reasonsto.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/happiness-mom-like-you.jpg 400w, https://www.reasonsto.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/happiness-mom-like-you-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.reasonsto.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/happiness-mom-like-you-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.reasonsto.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/happiness-mom-like-you-50x50.jpg 50w, https://www.reasonsto.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/happiness-mom-like-you-302x300.jpg 302w" sizes="(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px" /></p>
<h2 class="western">8. Being A Working Mum Gave Me An Opportunity To Stay Ahead Of The Game</h2>
<p>Staying at home until kids start school is not good for your career. Staying out of game on a professional front means that your knowledge will decrease, and so will tour salary and value in the workforce. Starting all over again, for most women is not-so-easy challenge. Staying ahead of the game is what empowered me the most in my career. If you ask me, with so many opportunities available today, it&#8217;s a real pity for a young woman, especially with a good educational background, to spend her time as a housewife.</p>
<h2 class="western">9. Daycare Is Great For Your Children</h2>
<p>Studies have shown that kids who go to daycare are less likely to experience emotional problems. Moreover, a quality daycare will give your kids an opportunity to grow; help develop better behavior habits; help improve social skills, cognitive, verbal and motor skills.</p>
<h2 class="western">10. You Will Be Personally Fulfilled</h2>
<p>Considering your children as your only goal is bad. Not only for you, but for your children as well. Being unable to spend some time alone is what defines the lives of most stay-at-home mums. This is why they feel unfulfilled.</p>
<h2 class="western">11. Working Mums Are Happy Mums!</h2>
<p>Studies have shown that working mums are less likely to suffer from depression. Working is good for your mental health. After all, what are the chances of your kids being happy if you are not? Good question to think about. I&#8217;m sure you already know the answer.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure you too are grateful to your mother. So, why not shower her with attention. You don&#8217;t need much to thank you mother for everything she has done for you. A small gift and few heartwarming words will be enough. And online market is full of interesting Mother&#8217;s Day gift ideas.</p>
<p>Many online retailers like <a href="http://www.mydeal.com.au/" target="_blank">Mydeal.com.au</a> offer discounts for Mother&#8217;s Day. From clothing, jewelry, bags, accessories to home necessitates, you can get it all in one place. Take advantage of the sale discounts and make this Mother&#8217;s Day a day to remember.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[Your 9-month-old baby is just 3 months shy from his/her first birthday and no longer resembles the bundle of joy. At this stage, your&#46;&#46;&#46;]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Your 9-month-old baby is just 3 months shy from his/her first birthday and no longer resembles the bundle of joy. At this stage, your baby is almost a professional crawler, always on the move and may even be able to stand. He/She continues to make major gains in development and begins to display a little independence. Also, at this stage of age, playtime is becoming more fun, primarily because your baby is becoming more aware of the surroundings. And as fun as play can be, it can be also educational.</p>
<p>This is because babies learn about the world around them through play and this learning experience can be enhanced by the toys you provide to them. Thus, be selective. Choose toys that are safe, easy to hold and carry and offer comfort. Since all children love things that are cuddly, soft toys make the best possible choice.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1285" src="http://www.reasonsto.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/baby-play-plush-toy.jpg" alt="baby-play-plush-toy" width="600" height="459" srcset="https://www.reasonsto.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/baby-play-plush-toy.jpg 600w, https://www.reasonsto.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/baby-play-plush-toy-300x229.jpg 300w, https://www.reasonsto.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/baby-play-plush-toy-150x114.jpg 150w, https://www.reasonsto.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/baby-play-plush-toy-302x231.jpg 302w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Here are few other great reasons for you to introduce a soft toy to your 9-month old baby.</span></p>
<p><i>To Promote Motor And Communication Skills</i></p>
<p>Soft toys offer baby a chance to explore numerous possibilities in a safe way. Your baby will be able to tug at them, chew and even throw them around, all without getting hurt. All these exploring possibilities will allow your baby to learn about changing nature of things around him/her.</p>
<p><i>To Learn to Self-Soothe</i></p>
<p>Being able to receive comfort from a cuddling soft toy is a powerful milestone in your baby&#8217;s development, as he/she becomes able to use a teddy bear or a soft fleece blanket to self-soothe. By providing a soft toy for your baby you will also be providing him/her with comfort and security often needed for calming down.</p>
<p><i>To Easily Separate from Mommy</i></p>
<p>At this age, your baby will begin to become more and more aware of the separation between the two of you. A teddy bear or any other stuffed animal toy will provide comfort during these difficult times of separation.</p>
<p>Stuffed animals and dolls, because they provide love and stability, usually are referred to as baby&#8217;s best friends. If your baby becomes very attached to his/her &#8216;best friend&#8217;, do not worry. This is very common and most children tend to slowly reduce the time they spend with their soft toy as they get older.</p>
<p>In addition, soft toys are safe, easy to hold and care for. And as you can see, although considered a toy and not an educational tool, a soft toy offers many benefits in helping babies explore their world and develop new skills.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-603" src="http://www.reasonsto.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/kids.jpg" alt="kids" width="400" height="286" srcset="https://www.reasonsto.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/kids.jpg 400w, https://www.reasonsto.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/kids-300x214.jpg 300w, https://www.reasonsto.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/kids-150x107.jpg 150w, https://www.reasonsto.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/kids-302x215.jpg 302w" sizes="(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px" /></p>
<p>Teaching your child good manners from an early age is more important than you think. It will help them become better people when they grow up; polite and open to communication; appreciative and respectful to themselves and others. But good manners do not come natural to children. Children have to learn them just like any other life-related activity or behavior. And you as a parent play an important role in this. Children learn everything from their parents, especially girls. For example, your daughter will at some point start to imitate you. Even when you think she&#8217;s occupied with her dolls, keep in mind that she&#8217;s always watching what you do, soaking every word you say and every move you make. Thus make sure your manners match your projected requirements of how you want your daughter to behave.</p>
<p>Many mothers of girls believe their princess will be real little ladies with perfectly styled hairs wearing crop tops for girls and cute ruffle skirts. However, very few toddler girls fit into such picture and in realty do not want to wear toddler girls dresses, skirts, nor want to comb their hair or cut nails. In fact, psychologists and pediatricians claim that most girls are very unruly until they turn three. This is because they are still in in the stage of exploring, testing the boundaries and deciding on what they do like and what not. So, if you want your daughter to be a real little lady, feminine and well-behaved, start teaching her good manners. Spending money on princess-like girls dresses online or in a kids clothing store, will not make a dame. But remember, how fast your daughter accepts the things you teach her, solely depends on her character.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-604" src="http://www.reasonsto.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/boy-girl-playing.jpg" alt="boy-girl-playing" width="400" height="267" srcset="https://www.reasonsto.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/boy-girl-playing.jpg 400w, https://www.reasonsto.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/boy-girl-playing-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.reasonsto.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/boy-girl-playing-150x100.jpg 150w, https://www.reasonsto.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/boy-girl-playing-302x201.jpg 302w" sizes="(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px" /></p>
<p>Do not expect her to say &#8216;thank you&#8217; or to greet neighbors after first suggestion. Just like anything, good manners need practice and practice makes perfect. Talk with your daughter and teach her good manners when playing with dolls. Often, the way a child plays with toys reflects on the behavior towards others. Do not focus on clothing alone. Just because your little princess feels more comfortable in boys shirts and tracksuits does not mean you should start buying boys shirts online.<b> </b>And you definitely should not stop shopping for crop tops for girls<b> </b>and girls dresses online.<b> </b>What you need to focus on is teaching her to be nice and to love and respect others; to be independent and happy; to learn to understand and accept differences.</p>
<p>Having good manners is not directly related to the styled braids nor to the clothing a child wears. It really does not make any difference in you daughter&#8217;s conduct if she&#8217;s wearing boys shirts<b> </b>or <b>t</b>oddler girls dresses.<b> </b>It is all about how she acts when having family dinner, playing with other kids in a park, when visiting grandparents, etc. And start with teaching her to care for her stuff. But allow her to choose her own outfits, even if it&#8217;s not a combination you like. Good manners are the way your child behaves and expresses herself at home and in public. So, teach her to be nice to other peers and grownups as well. Explain to her that conflicts are better solved with kind words and not shouting. Teach her the basics of hygiene, but do not expect her to always be clean and neat. After all, she is still only a child and has a lifetime ahead of her to learn everything there is to know about life. And remember, you will always be her role model. If you behave in a certain way be sure that your daughter will copy you. Make sure your actions match the good manners you&#8217;d like her to have.</p>
