Fundamentals of Good Manners

 

Good manners teach children to be more considerate, kind, and compassionate.

 

But these days manners are slowly fading away from our life. Therefore, Carpe Diem International, the best school in Rajpura, feels the sooner we start to teach kids the fundamentals of good manners and appropriate social etiquette, the better it is. Here’s how you can do this:

 

Take It Easy and Slowly

Instilling good manners in children is a long-term process so you better start early. Here are the magic words that can make all the difference to someone’s day – “Please”, “Thank You”, “Sorry”, “You’re welcome”, “Excuse me”, “Could you please...?” and “ May I?”. Politeness should always be there.

 

Watch Your Language

Children are innocent and oblivious to what is right or wrong, so they might say things that could be inappropriate. More often children pick up on the way of their parent's talking style and language, so as parents you need to be careful about not using words you would use with another adult in front of children.

 

Table Manners For Children

Table manners are basic social etiquette that every child must know. Yes, getting children to eat is difficult enough and with the added burden of teaching them proper table manners, it gets even more exasperating. So always start with basics like putting a napkin on the lap, eating with your mouth closed, finishing the food, and cleaning the table once done.

 

Correct Bad Manners

 Of course, there are going to be times when children will slip up and act out of line. Sometimes they will scream when they can’t get what they want. In such cases, you should make them understand as kindly and softly as possible without hurting their feelings. Correcting their bad manners on the spot will help them in retaining these lessons for the rest of their life.

 

Sharing

One of the most profound joys of life comes from sharing your things with people who need them. Children learn the first steps of sharing at home by sharing their stuff with their siblings. Encourage them to share their toys with their friends as well. It will raise them into compassionate and good adults that can change society for the better.

 

Children require work and patience on the part of parents, especially when teaching them about proper behaviour. Being among the top schools in Rajpura, we make sure the efforts put in will result in a well-behaved, obedient, and docile child brought up with good values that everyone will love.
