At what age you start teaching them table manner? I’m a mom of 2 boys (2yrs and 3 yrs) and it quite hard to get them do what I ask for…

In reply to Becky Lange. It's so important and seems to be a bit of a lost art. My goal is to raise boys who are well-behaved and who treat the women in their life with respect.

I was in the process of looking up tips on teaching boys to be gentlemen when I stumbled upon your blog! I have two sons, ages two and three and am in the process of homeschooling my three year old. I’ve always been saddened by the fact that chivalry is slowly slipping away from our culture and when I was blessed with two sons I determined I’d do my best to teach them to be gentlemen. We have been working on learning to open doors for women and girls and I’m excited that my oldest is catching on quickly! He opened the door for me the other day at the library and an older gentleman stood back behind us watching and he praised my son for being a gentleman to his mother. Thanks for the great tips and I look forward to reading more of your helpful blogs! Thanks!

When my sons started dating, I would make them meet a girl’s parents before a school dance.

Great tips, Kara! As a mom of 2 boys (ages 20 & 10) and 1 girl (age 12), I agree with each one, and I appreciate that it’s important to you to raise your young men to be gentlemen. You are making sure chivalry is not dead! 🙂 I think the only other thing I would add is to show girls/young ladies utmost respect as well, and as they mature, to appreciate the women in their lives and not to treat them as sexual objects.
