[quote=Anonymous]My 2.5 yo needs some prompting but generally is "expected" to say it. my 4yo generally says it unprompted, unless she is excited or upset, and she's a pretty tough kid. that said, I'm not so naive and self-congratulatory as to think we're done with this particular lesson. I have 6 nieces and nephews aged 3-9, and some teenage cousins. the 9 year old is reliably polite! just about all the others have . . . moments. kids go through rude/defiant phases, and you have to pick your battles. it is important, I think, that good manners like please/thank you be the modeled norm in my household; so we teach them as part of basic good behavior to 2yos. But to "reasonably expect" them without prompting or reminders? Hm. Later, probably. [/quote]
