[quote=Anonymous]I agree that as soon as they start speaking two word phrases, they can learn to say please and thank you. My son used signs before speaking and was doing please and thank you signs at 16 months. Now he's almost two and always uses please and thank you -- I expect it and prompt it a lot. What's extra douchy is that I was at a playgroup with a mom who heard me ask my son to say please and thank you when he was asking for toy. He did. She said, "I don't expect <daughter> to say that just because I tell her. I don't want her to say things just because an authoritarian figure is telling her to." 5 minutes later, her 2 and a half year old daughter starting burping on purpose, and then mother just laughed and asked her to do it again. Suffice it to say, they won't be coming over to my house for dinner any time soon.[/quote]
