How are your child’s manners?  I think manners are very important and I think children who have good manners are much more likeable than children who do not use simple phrases like please and thank you.  I don’t mean kids who are outright rude- they are definitely not likeable.  But even kids who do not say please and thank you- it shows a reflection of their parents.

With my daughter I started right away teaching her please and thank you.  She could sign those words long before she could say anything at all.  And now that she talks she is very good about saying please and thank you.  I think setting an example and reminding our children to say please and thank you are very important in teaching manners.

What do you do to help your child grow up to be polite?
