Good manners are a good habit.Behaving politely is a way of life, not just something you pull out when you’re at a wedding or fancy restaurant. It’s important to start as early as you can so manners become something a child does automatically.
|
Polite behavior will help your child's social development.Kids who aren’t taught social graces from an early age are at a distinct disadvantage, say experts. Sending them into the world without knowing social graces is equally problematic.
|
Learning manners is a lifelong education.It won’t happen overnight, and you need to take it slowly. Introducing one new social skill a month — teaching something and then rewarding them with praise when they do so — makes the process manageable for everyone.
|
Consistency is important.Acquiring good manners takes lots of practice and reinforcement, so encouraging (and discouraging) the same behaviors requires consistency. If one of you lets your kid fling food during meals and the other doesn’t, your child won’t know what’s expected of them.
