An ill-mannered person in society, as a rule, is perceived negatively, even if he has a huge number of other wonderful qualities. And this applies not only to adults, but also to children. Therefore, parents should instill courtesy in the baby from a very early age. It is especially important to teach the child to say hello in time.
Instructions
Step 1
Often a child can refuse the words of greeting, because he simply does not understand what they are for. In this situation, adults only need patience and endurance. They have to explain to the child in a friendly way, without edification, in an accessible language why they need to say hello.
Step 2
Sometimes a child can become an unwitting witness to a conversation in which parents speak badly about their acquaintances, with whom they then greet them. Naturally, the kid can simply get confused about what is good and right and what is not. Never show your child double standards of behavior.
Step 3
Sometimes a child doesn’t say hello simply because he doesn’t want to do it at the moment. Do not put pressure on the baby, let him develop at his own pace, calmly explain to him a couple of times why it is so important to say hello. Mom and Dad for a small child are the main people in the world, so your words for him are a real guide to action.
Step 4
Teaching a child to say hello is not difficult if you show him this simple thing every day by example. Greet people you know, neighbors and family in the presence of your baby first, loudly and with joy. Greet your child without requiring it from him. In such an atmosphere, the baby will understand that greeting is the norm. And very soon he will copy your behavior, i.e. greet the people around him.
Step 5
Create a game with your toddler in which all the toys greet each other with different words of greeting. Thus, it will be easier for you to convey to the child that people, like a doll, robot or teddy bear, always greet each other.
Step 6
Read a fairy tale to your child, the characters of which greet each other all the time. Tell him that through the words of greeting, we convey good wishes and our love to people. Or make up the story "What happens if everyone stops saying hello?"
Step 7
Let your baby not say hello to this or that person. But explain to him how the one who was not greeted felt. Ask your child how he will feel if someone just does not notice him and say nice magic words of greeting.
Step 8
After each greeting your child says, praise him with enthusiastic words. After all, praise for kids is a great incentive to master the rules of behavior.
