The joy you will feel when your child says, please pass my toy, thank you for helping me cross the road, or sorry if I harmed you will feel fantastic, isn’t it? A little kindness goes a long way. However, you may not know how to teach your child good manners; instead, your little one learns terrible manners. But with this bit of parenting guide, you can understand the best ways to teach kind words to your children.

 

 

Beginning phase: please, sorry, and thank you are good starting words

 

You need to start slowly because it’s obvious that your child won’t learn all the kindness and humbleness in the world in a flash. Your little one needs your support and time. So, in the beginning, we, as Ideal Education Point (New Choudhary Public School), an RBSE School in Pratap Nagar, suggest you start with the following points.

• You should start with minimal words such as please, sorry, thank you, etc. Tell your child when to use these phrases.
• Your child needs to make it a part of life, so start teaching these words as early as possible. We advise preschool. You already know that what we learn in childhood lasts forever, so your child needs to learn good things before. Never think that my child is very small now and doesn’t need a manners class anytime soon.
• Since your child will mirror your behavior, you need to change yours, no matter how tough it gets. Begin conversing positively and reply kindly to your child; even if it is not your nature, you need to only behave like it in front of your little one.
• Don’t ever scold your child to behave kindly. You can’t teach manners strictly. Make a kind and positive teaching environment that your child can accept.

Since we know the benefits of good manners at an early age, everyone is invited everywhere and loved by children. At Ideal Education Point (New Choudhary Public School), an RBSE Affiliated School in Pratapnagar Jaipur, we have included teaching good manners to our students into our curriculum for your child’s child benefit.   

 

The higher level: teaching positivity and feeling

Now that your child has learned, please, sorry, and thank you, it’s time to add more kind words with consistency slowly. In other words, when you think your child has learned the basics in the first phase, start making your child positive without scolding or hurting.

 

For example: Let’s say your child is not sharing toys with others. Ask your little one, what if your friend didn’t share toys with you. You need to create logic and let your little one think. Your child needs to know how denial feels.

 

Teaching positivity to your child and being positive is equally essential as teaching good manners. Don’t ever make your child feel like a loser or use phrases like you can’t do that because your child can, and never use terms such as even your father failed at it, so how can you achieve it?

 

Instead, use positive sentences such as I am here for you, you are loved, you can do it, etc.    

 

Wrap up phase: rewarding your child without overdoing it

 

Now that your child has learned everything, a reward will make your little one show more good manners and positivity. Treat your child with some parent-child time, play your favorite game together, or a treat. However, please note the following.

• Don’t reward your child with a costly or artificial gift.
• Don’t give your child greed for showing kindness.

We wrap up our article and wish all the parents good luck. We hope your child learns good manners soon.
