Just Ask Elizabeth: Grandchildren

Dear Elizabeth,

My friend has sometimes rather rude grandchildren. Any suggestions for how she can deal with them?

Dear Rude Grandchildren in Reading,

We all may have to deal with rude grandchildren sometimes. Do not tolerate their rudeness and always correct their behavior by being kind no matter how they behave. See my 13 rules of Good Behavior below. Try them out, maybe by posting them in your home. Teach grandchildren how to be kind even if their parents do not. Good luck.
