[quote=Anonymous]I was actually thinking about this recently. I have two sons. One just turned eight and the other is five. I would say over the last six months to a year the eight-year-old has started saying please and thank you relatively consistently. I still have to remind him - especially at home - But I don’t think it’s uncommon for a 7.5-year-old to not say it every time. I think for preschool and young elementary it’s probably 50-50 or maybe even less - % kids that consistently use manners. And these kids are from households where it is definitely enforced. I’m assuming you’re talking about run-of-the-mill things like this and not anything egregious? [/quote]
