[quote=Anonymous]I had a meeting with my kids before the school year started and identified speaking politey to adults as one of the "goals" for the year for one of my kids. I would try a non-punitive form of reinforcement for her. Be clear about what you expect, and then catch her doing it properly and reward a marbel or paper ticket that can be accumulated for some minor treat (frozen yogart etc.). She needs to understand that this is important and that it matters. My kids also know that two kids (brother and sister) that I drive home never thank me when I drop them off and we jokingly say "YOU'RE WELCOME" after they leave. I've made the point to them that parents do pass judgment on kids based on this behavior and it will impact their impression of you. You don't have to like talking to adults, but you have to doe it politely anyway.[/quote]
