A couple of key factors can also interfere with the ease of teaching manners, like influences at school or an excessive amount of screen time which doesn&#8217;t reinforce teaching your children compassion and empathy. However, there are five easy methods for introducing proper manners to your children that you can implement today.<\/p>\n<h3>Model Proper Manners for Your Kids<\/h3>\n<p>The first person your children are going to look to as an exampe of what proper manners look like is you. That means, when you use your manners all the time, your children will witness and likely follow suit.<\/p>\n<h3>Praise Your Children When They Get it Right<\/h3>\n<p>One of the easiest ways to reinforce the use of manners in your children is by praising them when they get it right, especially if your child uses their manners organically. Nothing says, &#8220;I see you and I&#8217;m so proud of you,&#8221; quite like praising your child when they do something right by their own choice. It also shows your children that you observe their positive behaviors, and that you speak up to reward them when you see them being nice.<\/p>\n<h3>Remind Your Kids When They Forget<\/h3>\n<p>As kids sometimes do, forgetting to use their manners can occassionally feel discouraging. But it doesn&#8217;t have to be. When your child forgets to say, &#8220;please&#8221; and &#8220;thank you,&#8221; don&#8217;t focus too hard on it. Simply remind them of a better way to speak next time and move on. Your child will catch on and will eventually begin using their manners more frequently.<\/p>\n<h3>Teach Your Children to Play Well with Others<\/h3>\n<p>Being able to share and to play well with others is a very powerful tool that a child can pull from when also learning manners. Manners are a kind and gentle expression that one shows another, as is playing well with others. To share a class toy instead of dominating it for hours is just as important for a child&#8217;s social development as being able to make a kind request by saying, &#8220;please.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Start as Early as Possible<\/h3>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/kidsrkids.bvbeta.com\/riverstone\/programs\/pre-k-childcare-program\/\">sooner<\/a> a child is introduced to proper manners, the easier it will be to adhere to them. Likewise, starting as early as possible offers the parent the opportunity to start small and to build on as time passes. When a child is really young, like toddler-age, it&#8217;s easier to start with &#8220;thank you&#8221; and &#8220;please&#8221; in small doses.<\/p>\n<h4>KIDS \u2018R\u2019 KIDS RIVERSTONE TODDLER PROGRAM<\/h4>\n<figure class=\"wp-image wp-image--no-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kidsrkids.bvbeta.com\/riverstone\/toddler-childcare-program\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-190000000279\" src=\"https:\/\/kidsrkids.bvbeta.com\/riverstone\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/190\/2021\/08\/krkrs-toddler.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-image wp-image--no-caption alignnone\"><\/figure>\n<p>Are you interested in learning more about how Kids \u2018R\u2019 Kids Academy of Riverstone can teach your toddler about being nice and using manners?
