[quote=Anonymous]Typically developing kids should have "please" "thank you" and "excuse me" down fairly consistently by around three or four without that much prompting. My mom is a preschool teacher, and her preschool has an entire curriculum of manners to teach the kids by the end of the year, including using polite words, not interrupting when someone else is talking, table manners, and introductions. The majority of kids she teaches are able to handle these skills, so I would say kids that age should at a minimum be able to remember to say please. Toddlers might need to be reminded or prompted though; it should become automatic through modeling from parents but really young kids may not have gotten to that point yet.[/quote]
