All parents want their children to have good manners, but this requires starting to teach children good manners from the very young age, when they just start talking. In addition, you always need to be an example for children, because if they see and hear good manners from their parents, then they themselves will try to use them.
Good manners will help the child navigate life situations, because such human behavior and respect for him are interconnected. Children begin to respect each other by respecting their parents.
It should be remembered that manners are not just words like "thank you" or "please." It is, first of all, a way to express kindness and gentleness towards others, and, as you know, people judge other people by how they are trained to stay in society.
Learning manners should begin with a list of good manners, and it’s great if your child helps you make this list, which should then be hung where the child will see it.
There should be several lists of manners: for school, for sports, for home, as well as for other places where the baby is. If a child misbehaves using bad manners, do not yell at him or lecture. You should point out to him the mistakes and teach him how to do it right.
For example, show your child that after eating you wipe your mouth not with your hand, but with a napkin, and then go to wash your hands. Be positive when teaching your child. It will also be great if you go with your child to the library. Choose exactly those books that can be stories aimed at teaching good manners. Use these books as often as possible: before meals, after meals, during play, and before bed.
It will also be great to teach children special signals and gestures that can replace the voice. For example, if you put your finger to your ear, the child will understand that he needs to be quiet and listen when someone says something. Rubbing the lips can show the child that he does not need to eat very quickly.
