Top 5 Ways to Teach Children to Say Thank You   by Ray Nadeau

in Family / Parenting    (submitted 2010-03-15)


Thank children for thanking other people. You can keep small treats, such as a candy or small toy to be given in private when you notice that your child has done a good job of thanking others.
Have children count in their head how many times they were able to thank people for different things and report back in the car after an event. It will help in their manners and help their memory and counting skills as well.
Sometimes adults can get so busy in other things that they forget to listen for a thank you. Discipline yourself to expect a thank you from your children. Don't be in such a rush that you forget the importance of manners in the home.
When they are still very young, make sure that children sign and send all their own thank you cards for birthday, Christmas or other gifts. This will create a great habit for later in life.
Show children thank you notes or gifts you are sending out, or bring children along when you are delivering a thank you. Modeling how you thank your friends and family will help them to thank their friends as well. FOR MORE INFO http://raymondrules.com
