There was a mom on EP who, as a little girl, was expected to curtsy to important adults such as her pastor or her teacher, and whenever she was presented to a new adult for the first time.

Raising her daughter in the 1980's she taught her daughter to do this too, although she realized it was passing out of fashion. She felt it helped her child make a good first impression.

When her daughter got to be in later elementary school, she begged her mother not to make her curtsy to her teacher anymore because she was the only child who had to do that, and it made the other children think she was a little suck-up, when actually she was just obeying her mother's rule.

To be fair, if we bring back the tradition of women and girls curtsying, men and boys should bow also.

its not overly complicated... you dotn have to learn how to bow either

No, because it is not the custom anylonger to do so and are you teaching the boys to bow?

They definitely should, and mine were at an early age.

it's up there with learning to say NO

Up to you but having manners and being polite and have etiquette can be usefull Later on in adulthood and makes better people in my opinion ps sorry not sorry

If you want.
I mean, it's pretty rare to see someone actually do it, but you may as well know how.

Might be good for Formal events. Other wise I don't see a lot of use for it.

I love the second Picture....do you know where it is from?

only if meeting Royalty

No fuck that

And sons to bow and shake hands

Of course, they should.
