[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She forces the kids to say "please" and "thank you". If they ask for something she will say, "and what do you say?" And wait till they say "please". Same song and dance for "thank you". I think that she is putting too much stress on them as we don't push formality in our home. She also says things like "adjust your attitude then ask me". Heard her saying this today. My son was saying "turn on the tv". Should I talk to her about her behavior towards the kids? They are only 6 and 8. [/quote] That is not formality, that is called having manners. A 2 yr old can start to learn having manners, your 6 and 8 yr old should have no problem with it. You don't want to end up with rude and arrogant (thinking others will do things for you) children which is what could happen if they never learn to ask someone to do something (instead of demanding) or learn how to say please and thanks.[/quote]
