[quote=Anonymous]I agree that manners are totally separate from empathy and other traits you want your kid to have. However, I still think they are worth instilling. One of my kids has ADHD and impulse control issues and beautiful manners (please, thank you, yes please and no thank you those sorts of things) because they are just habit now. I do ask my kids to rephrase if they demand things and remind them to say please and thank you to others but it’s not a big deal. Now remembering not to interrupt, that is much harder…. With all that said they eventually notice their peers don’t use great manners but mine are still young enough to enjoy it when people praise their manners. I hope it keeps up. I’m kind of shocked how some kids speak to their parents, not when they are angry but just their typical interaction.[/quote]
