Children Should be Seen and Not Heard

Kids in the 50’s knew better than to interrupt.

They waited until they were spoken to before responding.

Otherwise they were expected to sit politely and listen.

 

Offer Your Seat

On a bus or a train, children were always expected to stand

and offer their seat to a woman or elderly person. If for some

reason they failed to do so another adult (parent or not) would

quickly admonish them

 

Dress For Dinner

Today, we often grab meals on the go, eat in front of the tv,

or eat at different times. In the 1950’s everyone dressed for dinner

and sat together as a family. Children would never be allowed to wear

sweatpants to the family dinner table.

 

Please and Thank You

Please and Thank You were mandatory phrases and children would

never say “I want”, instead they would say “Please, may I have”

or “I would like”. And if the answer was no, they were expected to

accept that answer without any arguments..

 

Stand and Shake Hands

When any adult entered the room children were expected to stand

and greet their guest with a handshake and an introduction if they

were meeting for the first time.

 

Basic Table Manners

All children learned at a very young age that they should NEVER

eat with their fingers or put your elbows on the table.

 

Thank You Notes

Children were expected to write hand-written thank you notes for

gifts they received and parties they were invited to. Children practiced

handwriting from a very young age so that they would be able to write

personal thank you notes.

 

Weekly Chores

Children were expected to help around the house and the chores included

dusting, vacuuming, taking the trash out, doing the dishes, lawn work and

more. They didn’t get rewarded for doing chores – it was simply expected.

 

Respect for All Adults

Children of the Fifties referred to all adults – parents, teachers, and strangers –

as sir or ma’am. It was a sign of respect and was strictly enforced.

>>3069941 I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only "Q" will remain.
