So we use it as incentive. If they show good table manners at home - carrying on pleasant conversations, not talking with food in their mouths, saying please and thank you, sitting (relatively) still in their seats, etc. for a certain number of meals, we celebrate by taking them - and their good table manners - out to dinner. It's perfectly logical that one would have to have table manners down pat before going out to a restaurant, afterall! Did you find this tip helpful? Add your tip Etiquette 101 491 of 976 people found this tip helpful Tip: When my homeschooled daughter was a kindergartener, we put etiquette on the list of things she wanted to learn (yes, I planted the idea). I brought home library books on etiquette some written for kids, others for adults and we tackled each aspect, including table manners. She delighted in knowing which fork to use first, how to dab her mouth with her napkin, which she kept in her lap, etc. Of course, we covered the practical rules, too, like not banging your utensils on your plate, talking about the "gross" vegetables, or showing your half eaten spaghetti to your brother. It was fun, and it also resulted in great table manners on her part!

"Ladies", it is time to discuss Restroom Etiquette! I just got back from a two week cross country trip from South Carolina to Las Vegas, Nevada with brief stops in Oklahoma and Utah, (to see children and grandchildren). Frankly, "Ladies", I am disgusted with the lack of personal etiquette and manners many women, (I dare not call them Ladies), display in public restrooms. There is nothing more disgusting than to walk into an empty stall, after hours on the road, to discover pee spattered all over the seat! Invariably I have to clean the seat before I can use it, as the facilities are often crowded with waiting lines. "Ladies", How on earth does this happen? I, as a mother, a sister, a daughter, and a wife, a grandmother, do understand small children, who may not be completely on the seat to begin with, splattering the seat. However, where is the mother to teach the child to clean up after themselves? Then, of course, we understand men and boys in general, having stood by excitedly during potty training with the "sink the fruit loop" guidance systems at our disposal. Frankly, they often splatter, whether from bad aim or distance from the seat or other obvious male reasons. There again I ask, where is the parent to teach them to clean up after themselves? Certainly, since we are not men or boys, standing up to pee would be a feat worth noting. I remember one of my daughters, having been around boys a lot, insisting she had to stand up to pee. She couldn't understand for quite a while that her anatomy would not permit this type of activity. She finally got the hang of it, however. She was 18 months when this light turned on.

Is it important for my child to have good manners around her friends? How important is it to teach my child good manners? These are the years when your child needs to learn the true meaning of good manners: that if she conducts herself considerately in all sorts of different situations, from visits with relatives to overnights with friends, people will enjoy - and even seek out - her company. Even a 6-year-old can grasp the idea that different scenarios call for specific sorts of behavior: A visit to a great-aunt visit requires a handshake, an appreciative taste of the homemade apple cake, and an audible "hello" and "goodbye"; a sleep-over demands respect for her friend's doll collection, help picking up the debris after the pillow fight, and an audible "thank you" to the host's mom. This is really important stuff for learning to get along in the world, around adults as well as the all-important kid friends. How do I convince my child that good manners matter?

A magazine published by CLS Communications Home About Submit Links ... Search by Patti L. Mindock Was the phrase “mind your manners” almost as popular at your family gatherings this year as “Happy Holidays?” Did your young ones use less than stellar table etiquette...your son literally PASSED the bread to his cousin, who then went for a two-yard touchdown to tackle the butter dish? As we begin a new year, many peeved parents may find themselves resolving to “teach that kid some manners” for the millennium. A worthy goal. Hopefully it won’t take a thousand years to accomplish. Madeline Zackery of Kalamazoo has taught etiquette classes for 31 years. She calls good manners “a necessary life skill, like potty training.” “I think parents should begin teaching their children basic manners such as saying ‘thank you, please, and may I’ around the age of 2, or when they think their child understands direction,” she said. “Parents need to instill in their children to respect others and be courteous, using proper behavior both at home and in public. For example, ‘don’t take things that aren’t yours’ can be learned at an early age.” Zackery is the owner of Madeline’s Modeling Agency and her etiquette classes cover visual poise (posture - how to stand, sit, etc.), social graces like table manners, conversation skills and telephone manners. While formal classes are available, moms and dads are the best teachers of social graces. Kids learn by example. “Parents need to model being polite, courteous and respectful,” Zackery stressed. “If we’re at soccer games, telling off people — our kids are watching all of this. I think respect is so important, even respecting others’ property. Parents should exemplify that type of behavior. People shouldn’t think that etiquette is only something you do in public. I always feel if you do it at home and keep practicing it, when you go into public places, it’s a part of your character, coming naturally.”

Brenda R. Teaching real kids real manners Depending on attitude, experiences, and commitment, this topic can either represent a natural part of everyday life or one of the greatest challenges facing us as mothers...kids and manners. Brenda (also known as "Oma") shared with us how manners were an everyday part of life for her as she was growing up and on into adulthood. Manners were taught in school and there were even special "finishing schools" designed specifically to teach manners to young people. She paid a great tribute to her own mother who, even in the midst of Alzheimer's, is the perfect picture of manners. Even though she rarely remembers her very own children, she "remembers" to be polite, gracious, and well-mannered. Brenda suggested that manners should become a habit, something that comes naturally to us (and our children). Manners should apply to all levels of society from the most crude to the most Godly and polite. Everyone we come into contact with deserves to receive our best manners. Luke 6:31 says "Do to others as you would have them do to you." (NIV, Zondervan). We were reminded that it is our responsibility to teach manners to our children. Proverbs 22:6 tells us "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it." (NIV, Zondervan).

But that doesn't mean they can't learn to be clean and considerate when it comes to using the bathroom. Find out how you can teach bathroom manners and skills and motivate your child to follow a simple but effective toilet routine. Choose easy-on, easy-off clothes Be sure your child can undo zippers, buttons, and other fasteners without asking you for help. Pants with an elastic waist are a good choice for kids who find fasteners frustrating. Make toilet paper accessible Is the toilet paper holder within easy reach? If not, keep a roll where your child can get to it. Set up a child-friendly sink Many kids resist hand washing, so make it as easy and appealing as possible. Provide a stool if the sink is hard to reach. Stock up on fun soaps in pump bottles decorated with your child's favorite characters, or sweet-smelling glycerin soaps in bright colors.

Gone are the days when she required you to stick around for the entire party and now tells you that you can leave the second you drop her off at the door. You secretly hope she remembers her manners and doesn't take over the gift opening from the birthday child. The only thing you can really do though, is to go over a few basic rules, maybe engage in a bit of role play and then let her go! Here is a basic list of manners your child should know when attending a birthday party: 1. Make sure your child says hello to the parents as soon as she's arrived. That way, they know she's there and may not have to wait for anyone else in order to get the party started. 2. Have your child take off his or her shoes when entering the house.

Kids Good manners are important to a child's social success, but no child is born with good manners. Beyond teaching "Please" and "Thank You" many parents aren't sure how to teach a child good manners. When teaching manners, keep the following in mind: Teach, Don't Reprimand Instead of saying, "Don't be so rude!" One could say, "It's not polite to belch at the table, but if you do, say 'Excuse me.'" Rephrase If the child says, "Yuck! I hate this green stuff!" Politely correct by saying, "What I'd like to hear you say is, "I don't care for spinach." Correct Privately Do your best to resist the urge to reprimand in front of others. Correction is more effective when you do not make a scene.
