Briefly

"I make them stand up. I used to make them. Now they just do stand up." Shriver reflects on teaching her children the importance of manners.
"There's many things that I've emulated from my mother, but my grandmother and my mother were big on manners. When somebody who was older walked in the room, everybody stood up." Shriver emphasizes her family's emphasis on respect.
"Everybody had to have something to bring to the table to talk about... you had to like step up." Shriver discusses instilling conversation skills at the dinner table.
"I wanted my kids to stand up out of respect... I didn't want to walk in the room and they'd be sitting looking at a phone." Shriver shares her value of direct communication and respect.
