Parental Guidance Advised

For a generation of gracious Singaporean youths, it needs to start with a population of gracious parents, so argues famed business woman, Ms Nanz Chong-Komo.

In an article that first ran in the April/May 2010 issue of ‘Today’s Parents’ magazine, Ms Chong-Komo reminds parents that children learn by observing their parents, thus picking up both good and ungracious behaviours from the adults.

She explains, “We may not think this is a big deal, but small actions can have big repercussions. Gracious kids become gracious adults. Gracious people get noticed, hired, promoted. Gracious people have influence. They are attractive, magnetic, inspiring.”
