At Goops Unlimited, it makes our day to hear from our customers. We’re interested in getting to know you, and listening to your thoughts and concerns about teaching kids about manners and polite behavior.
In spending some time on Youtube, I happened across some advertisements from the 1950’s about manners training materials available for public schools, churces, etc. Take a moment to view this short video about manners and table etiquette and let me know what you think. Does it resonate with you? How were manners taught in your home, as you were growing up?
This is that time of year again. Families spending time with one another, sharing stories, making each other laugh; what a beautiful time of year. With the hustle and bustle of holiday shopping, Goops Unlimited wants to do our best in making your shopping an easy experience.
We will be offering a Holiday promotion running from October 15th through December 15th, 2008. You will receive 20% off of each of our three main books, Goops And How To Be Them, A Treasury of Goops, or Goop Tales. Make the most of this holiday special and share the joy of the Goops with your loved ones.
“ One small act of kindness is worth a month of heartlessness. One generous gesture can compensate for a season of selfishness. One precious moment of understanding can repair a lifetime of ignorance.” - author unknown
I believe in this powerful quote with all my heart. I have long envied the person who is blessed with the funds to set up a foundation with the express purpose of sharing wealth with children who find themselves in desperate situations and are helpless to change their lives. All around the world these children need our help.
Throughout my lifetime, giving of my physical strength and time has been most satisfying for me, however I have also tried to share money when possible. The sum I was able to give always seemed inadequate even with the understanding any amount is welcome and small amounts from many add up to a generous amount.
With Humanity Unites Brilliance, I have been blessed with an opportunity to share a modest amount with many. The fundraising model is now unbroken. My money is multiplied, like the fishes and loaves, and as a team we have already funneled impressive amounts of aid to the children who need our help. Truly, many joined together can make a difference.
Please take my words into your heart and if you feel compassion visit my website www.thegoops.com and click on Family Values. There you will find information about my partnership with Humanity Unites Brilliance, the organization that I truly believe will make my greatest wishes become reality.
I no longer feel my efforts inadequate. My heart is full of joy with the knowledge I truly am doing my share.

This year Goops Unlimited is pleased to be part of a literacy project in Guatemala. The Goops books are being used by Nicholas Beatty, a Goops Unlimited employee, for teaching English to children in the villages of San Juan la Laguna and Panyebar, Guatemala. The books are also in the process of being translated into Spanish for the enjoyment of potentially millions of children who have never experienced the joy of the Goops.
For more about this project, or to learn how you can share the Goops in your community, contact Nicholas Beatty at info@TheGoops.com.
Parents mush exercise self-control and exhibit adult behavior as role models for their children. An immature adult is not capable of teaching a young child how to display kindness in this world. You must learn to love others more than yourself. Children respond to gentleness and understanding and learn to trust the kindess of their parents, In turn they desire to please and they too become gentle and understanding. This way of life establishes self-confidence in both child and adult alike, and is the first step to building a happy and healthy family life.
If you raise your voice and label your child with unpleasant names, they become frightened and confused and over time defensive. They will then respond to their playmates and siblings in the same manner in which they have been treated. We often forget that a bully is the product of a bully. The best way to solve disagreements is for the child and parent to calmly discuss the issue at hand. By maintaining our composure, we recognize that The issue may not be as big as we think it is.
After the issue is solved we can pat ourselves on the back and acknowledge the fact that we were able to teach our child an essential lesson: KINDNESS
