We all know what happens when a child is considered rude and mannerless, they not only chastise the child but they abuse the parent who breed such a child without instilling discipline and manners into him. Such a child will become the topic of discussing and there's no way people won't mention the parents who made him which is why every parent should teach their kids these essential manners from a very early age to raise happy and well-mannered kids.
1. Greetings
Greeting doesn't stop at "good morning...." "Please, thank you, excuse me, pardon me," are other words your child should know so they can get through life easily. These acts show they have courtesy, humility, and gratitude. All of these traits endear us to people. Teach them by setting examples.
2. Interruptions
When having a conversation with your friends never allow your kids to interrupt you unless it's an emergency matter. When children do this outside the home, they'll be considered as ill-mannered so teach your kids examples of rude interruption and an urgent one so they know the difference.
3. Sharing
Kids find it hard to share but when they grow up taking and never giving they might become selfish. Teach your kids to share from an early age so they can learn to share their time, money and resources later in life.
4. Asking for permission
Make your kid get permission from you before going out to play, borrowing your things and buying something with money gifted them. By doing so you are teaching your children to show respect and acknowledge the higher authority so they don't have problems in life. Start by setting a good example asking "may I borrow your pencil?...."
5. Losing and winning
Some adults are sore losers and that's because of the way they were bred. When playing games with your kid, don't let them win on purpose, let them learn that in life "you win some, and lose some." And when they win, praise their effort but don't make a big deal out of it.
6. Hands Off
Kids get the notion that everything is for them early in life. So when you visit someone's house or go somewhere tell them not to touch anything. They might be excited and start touching things placed on the shelf and who knows they might break something! Teach them to look and not touch other people's things.
7. Accepting Compliments
Teach your kids to accept compliments graciously and to compliment friends, family members and people around them honestly. This is not only polite but they'll not grow up with a feeling of superiority.
8. Compassion
Being compassionate and empathizing with others isn't a weakness and children have to be taught that. Teach your children to be compassionate by being kind to people around you.
