Kids At A Kiddush Crisis

I find myself disturbed enough about this issue that it warrants bringing it to the attention of the Tzibur at large.

I cannot begin to describe the incredulous looks that I got from these fine young boys- it was if I had just landed from Mars and was not familiar with basic human decency. One boy even went so far as to signal that I was a bit deranged and should not be taken so seriously!

I recall a number of years ago having my son sit on my lap for all of davening in order for an adult to sit and daven- I am not looking for Kudos- but this is the Chinuch that my parents gave me.

Where have we gone wrong? Have we become so calloused that we do not impart basic Derech Eretz in the chinuch of our children- and it is not the schools and Yeshivahs responsibility- it is every parent who is attempting to raise a Torahdik mishpochoh- their sole responsibilty!

Your thoughts please!
