[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am VERY soft spoken, so its been hard for me to learn throughout my life that it doesn't count if I say "thank you" quietly and no one hears it. If they don't hear you say "thank you" or "excuse me" or whatever, it's the same as not saying it - others are still going to think you are rude. So when one of my kids says it quietly, I have them repeat it until they are heard. "Say it so they can hear you" gets repeated ad nauseum. [/quote] I taught my kids that not all kids have good manners and mine should be proud they do. So when they're saying something because it's polite, "be loud and proud." Seems to work. [/quote]
