after themselves while their parents work 37 Lynette Long was once the headmaster of an elementary school She said We had a school rule against wearing jewelry A lot of kids had chains around their necks with keys attached I was constantly telling them to put them inside shirts There were so many keys It never came to my mind what they meant 38 She and her husband began talking to the children who had them They learned of the impact working couples and single parents were having on their children 39 One in every three latchkey children the Logs talked to reported being scared Many had

advice when asked by newcomers as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate When someone makes a mistake whether it s a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer be kind about it If it s a small mistake you may not need to say anything Even if you feel strongly about it think twice before saying anything Having good manners yourself doesn t give you license to correct everyone else 40 At the same time if you find you are wrong be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age sex and

appointment promptly and deal with every piece of work when it has to be attended to 39 If a person is invited to a dinner and arrives later than expected he keeps all the other guests and the host
