When my very wonderful toddler is not wearing his cranky pants - we marvel at his manners.
His teachers, commuters, neighbors, and other parents have commented on the fact that my son is relentless with his yes please, thank you, you're welcome, no thank you, offering his seat to a lady who is standing, and allowing ladies to enter elevators first. Humbling enough, I have been told that I'm doing a great job, and I have been asked the question of - how I did it.
I'd love to share my tips and secretes with my blogger parents: simply enough, as my mom did with me, manners were the first words that I taught my son, so he enjoyed the use of his new vocabulary words, and we are so grateful that that remains the case two years later. We made manners a fun thing to do, and we made the yucky face when we did not hear these polite words.
However, do not despair, it is never to late to start requesting manners at home. I'd recommend just making it a fun thing to do, as we do at our house. BWrightParents
