The Importance of Learning Good Manners

Learning good manners and being polite are more than mere skills. They are a way of life. While young, children have amazing learning potential – they can remember anything! By teaching them at an early age, they will develop positive habits and good manners will feel more natural.

Learning Good Manners: Some Notable Examples

These skills will not appear in a single day. It takes time to grow up and develop them. It is important to show what is acceptable and what is not. As early as two years old, a child can begin observing and copying the behavior of other people, so we must be careful at what we teach. Here are some nice and effective methods we at Cobble Hill Daycare use to help the children. The goal is to teach these important life lessons.

  • Showing the kids how to greet and say goodbye. We can do it by either teaching them to say it or showing how to wave at other people.
  • It is important to stay on the seat while eating. It is polite and safe.
  • We show the kids how to thank others. You can do it by reading stories, or using hand and facial signs.
  • Next on the list, is learning the basic table manners. Children which are about to start going to school must learn these habits. At around five to six years old, most children will be able to use spoons and a towel. It is also important to eat with their mouths closed – once again, this is both polite and safer. To learn more table manners, we at Daycare Carroll Gardens Brooklyn make sure to organize small tea parties or picnics. They are perfect for the occasion because the kids find them fun, and can learn a lot from them.
  • They should also begin learning vocabulary. It is an essential part of the English language. Learning good vocabulary can help develop politeness and a way of thinking which shows respect to others.
  • At an older age (around the time for kindergarten) kids love to show off how polite they can be. We encourage them to continue doing it.learning good manners, Daycare Carroll gardens Brooklyn, Daycare cobble hill, Cobble hill daycare
  • Next on the list is learning proper eye contact. It is important to look at someone while he or she is talking, but it can also be rude to stare at people who are not engaged in a conversation at the moment.
  • Another great example of politeness is not interrupting others while they are speaking or doing something else. If a small child interrupts you, remind them to wait their turn unless there is something serious. That’s why we love to do roleplaying games.
  • Last but not least – learning to avoid mumbling. If someone else is mumbling, you must ask them politely to repeat the sentence.
