Welcome
Modern Manners & Mental Fortitude
This course builds real-life decision skills for youth and adults: self-control under pressure,
respectful communication, and choosing the long view. It turns stressful moments into practice
so learners can pause, think, and choose intentionally.
How it helps: students gain confidence for real situations at school, home, work, and online. Adults get a shared language to coach, model, and reinforce good choices.
Instructions: choose a scenario, make a decision, then explain it using unit language. Use the three boxes: Tool (self‑regulation), Concept (unit idea), and Why (reasoning). Scenarios unlock daily and rotate weekly.
