Manners

Manners can be hard to come by sometimes. Especially when we as parents have to repeat over and over exactly what needs to be said. We need manners however to show respect to others, create an expectation of behavior, and show others we care about them.

Manners can help kids boost their self-esteem, create a positive social life, provide better opportunities, and create a sense of happiness.

Manners can go beyond just please and thank you and yes ma'am and no ma'am. Other social behaviors may include:

Knock before entering

Covering your mouth when you cough or sneeze

Remembering people's names
