[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have received compliments from others about my son but not my daughter. We talked to both kids about manners and politeness. Honestly just acknowledging a grownup, saying hello, goodbye and thank you go a long way. You’d be surprised how many of my kids friends don’t even acknowledge me when they come over.[/quote] +1. We are exactly the same. I receive so many compliments on DS. He is gracious and kind and teachers and friends love him. My DD is polite but not sure she’s gracious. It may be part of her introverted personality. But really it’s the behavior you model at home and expecting them to be that way when they are out and about. Their peers and social circle also makes a big influence. And yes, it’s amazing how few of their friends or classmates acknowledge adults. Just plain rude. [/quote]
