[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you, your family, your friends and the environment your child is in does it your child will eventually pick up on it and copy the behavior. Simple as that. You do not ever need to say "Larla, say please if you want something." or "Larla, I just gave this to you, say thank you." If you model it right, it just happens. If your kids don't say please and thank you it's not time to teach them, it's time to check on yourself, your partner and the people your child is regularly in contact with. Especially caretakers also.[/quote] How naive and condescending. I agree that modeling is most important, but kids pick it up that much more quickly if they are prompted and taught explicitly. I encourage and remind them when necessary because good manners are a habit and I want them to pick that habit up as early as possible. [/quote]
