What to Teach Your Children on Martin Luther King Day

” The time is always right to do what is right.”       

                                                         Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

1. Martin Luther King had a dream. Teach children about the importance of having a passion for a cause. Martin Luther King demonstrated that anyone can achieve their dream no matter what obstacles they face.
2. Respect people for who they are.
3. Introduce your children to different cultures through meals and celebrations.  Diversity is crucial and it is never too early to start.
4. How can you help others? Make a list with your children on how they can help others in their class, with the elderly or at home.

How are you remembering Dr. King today?

My name is Lisa Richey, and I am the founder of Manners To Go™ . This brand has given me the honor of teaching manners to thousands of people around the world. The journey has taken me from Portland, Oregon to the Middle East. I believe that manners are not about judgment or rules. Manners are about self-interest.
