[quote=Anonymous]Try to ingrain this into daily life. Yours and hers. The entire family. Do you greet neighbors, passersby, etc. with a "Good morning?" or a "Hello" Receptionists, security guards? Start there. I'm not suggesting you start your child down a path of chatting with strangers. But you need to model social skills. You child doesn't have the ability to pick and choose the adults you want her to chat up and shut down the rest of the time. I see this with my brother's kids. They are stone cold impolite. Well, so are my brother and sister in law. They are wrapped up in their phones, they ignore virtually everyone. The kids follow suit.[/quote]
