A simple please and thank you can help kids learn more about being kind, empathizing and respecting others. Teaching good manners to kids from a young age helps in shaping their social behavior and building positive relationships. Here are the must haves to instill politeness, respect and gratitude in children.
Teach your kids to use “please,” “thank you,” “sorry” and “excuse me” everywhere, from school to home and even in public space. This teaches them to show respect and kindness.
Make this a habit for kids to greet elders, teachers and even other people with a simple “hello or Good morning” to develop social confidence and respect.
Teach kids to show and express gratitude to others, not just by words but by getting their friends or family gifts or making a handmade card or helping others.
Teach kids the importance of knowing and acknowledging space, waiting for their turn and asking for permission before touching things that don’t belong to them.
Teach children to chew with their mouth closed, use cutlery properly and wait for everyone before starting a meal to develop good eating habits.
Kids learn best by watching adults so practice polite behavior yourself by speaking kindly and treating others with respect.
When kids forget their manners, correct them with patience and praise their good behavior to reinforce good habits.
