Manners Training For Children At Home

By Michael Obrien


When a child is at his very young age, it is very important that he already receive some manners training from his parents so that when he grows up, he will get used to that kind of behavior. Of course the ones that must teach the children etiquette is the parents because the parents are the first teachers of the children. So to new parents, here are some ways on how to teach children etiquette.

Now if a parent would want his or her child to follow the proper teachings, then he or she should become a living example that the child can actually follow or emulate. With regard to etiquette, children will only become well mannered if they see that their parents are also very well mannered individuals. Children will always try to copy what their parents do simply because they see their parents every day and will also try to make them the perfect figures that they should try to follow.

Now the very first thing that one should teach his children would be to greet other people. Not greeting a person during a meeting is considered to be rude and if the child will get used to doing that, then he will carry on that habit to until when he gets older. So parents must teach their kids to say hello to whoever they meet and not just stay silent.

Of course the way a child acts in public will also reflect on how the parents themselves act. If a child displays rowdy behavior in a public place, then people will not want to be associated with the whole family already. So if the parents notice that their child is acting out of control, they should punish the kid right away so that they do not repeat it.

After teaching a child not be wild in a public place, then it is time to get to the specifics. One of the most basic things to teach a child would be to simply ask for permission before he takes something or asks someone for a favor. If a child will have the habit of not asking permission before taking things, then he will be regarded as a thief when he grows up.

After that, he should learn how to thank the owner once he is done using the thing. It is equally rude when one does not show gratitude when another does him a favor or lends him something. So even with simple things, a child should already learn to say please and thank you.

Once the basics are done, then they should also learn to have some table manners. Since they will most likely be going out to eat dinner in the house of another person, then they must be at their best behavior. Learning table etiquette is very important so that the dinner does not become a big mess.

So if parents would want to give their children some manners training, then it is important to take note of these basic aspects. Now take note that parents must learn to appropriately punish their children so that none of the children will become spoiled. In the future, they will then become respectable individuals.
