But with all the responsibilities that parents are already juggling on a daily basis,<a href=\"https:\/\/childdevelopmentinfo.com\/parenting\/the-importance-of-teaching-manners-to-kids\/\"> teaching your child right from wrong<\/a> and how to act is sometimes put on the back burner. Most parents know what it&#8217;s like to feel shocked and embarrassed in front of other adults when their child exhibits poor manners.<\/p>\n<p>The cold hard truth is that children learn from imitating their parents. If you want your kids to practice appropriate mannerisms, they need to observe them first. These are the same mannerisms that your parents taught you when you were small.<\/p>\n<p>Cover the basics by teaching your kids the following five manners:<\/p>\n<h3>1. Saying \u201cplease\u201d and \u201cthank you.&#8221;<\/h3>\n<p>You\u2019d be surprised how infrequently these phrases are heard in polite conversation these days. Many kids don\u2019t know the etiquette. When someone gives you something, the proper reply is \u201cthank you.\u201d It conveys respect and appreciation. When you ask for something, end your statement or begin your question with \u201cplease.\u201d It also conveys respect and graciousness.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Greeting someone.<\/h3>\n<p>Pay attention to how many people say \u201chello\u201d to you today. Proper etiquette is to say the greeting when you enter a room where people are gathered. Even if other people don\u2019t return the greeting, addressing others shows kindness and respect.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Answering the telephone.<\/h3>\n<p>When picking up the receiver, yelling \u201chuh\u201d into the line isn\u2019t the proper way to speak to someone on the other end. Always say \u201chello\u201d first. Once the pleasantries are out of the way, the other person can state their business if they are the one calling you. If you\u2019re calling someone, say your name and the purpose of your call after the greeting.<br \/>\n<picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/childdevelopmentinfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/More-5-Manners-to-Teach-Your-Kids.webp 919w,https:\/\/childdevelopmentinfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/More-5-Manners-to-Teach-Your-Kids-600x411.webp 600w,https:\/\/childdevelopmentinfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/More-5-Manners-to-Teach-Your-Kids-100x69.webp 100w,https:\/\/childdevelopmentinfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/More-5-Manners-to-Teach-Your-Kids-400x274.webp 400w,https:\/\/childdevelopmentinfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/More-5-Manners-to-Teach-Your-Kids-768x527.webp 768w,https:\/\/childdevelopmentinfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/More-5-Manners-to-Teach-Your-Kids-700x480.webp 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/childdevelopmentinfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/More-5-Manners-to-Teach-Your-Kids.jpg\" height=\"377\" width=\"550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/childdevelopmentinfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/More-5-Manners-to-Teach-Your-Kids.jpg 919w, https:\/\/childdevelopmentinfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/More-5-Manners-to-Teach-Your-Kids-600x411.jpg 600w, https:\/\/childdevelopmentinfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/More-5-Manners-to-Teach-Your-Kids-100x69.jpg 100w, https:\/\/childdevelopmentinfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/More-5-Manners-to-Teach-Your-Kids-400x274.jpg 400w, https:\/\/childdevelopmentinfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/More-5-Manners-to-Teach-Your-Kids-768x527.jpg 768w, https:\/\/childdevelopmentinfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/More-5-Manners-to-Teach-Your-Kids-700x480.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" class=\"alignright wp-image-33254 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"More 5 Manners to Teach Your Kids\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/p>\n<h3>4. Practice selflessness.<\/h3>\n<p>In a nutshell, practicing selflessness means showing consideration for others, e.g., holding a door open for someone behind you, taking the grocery bags in the house for mom, allowing an older person to have your seat on the bus. Do these things for others, and your children will eventually\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/childdevelopmentinfo.com\/family-building\/mindful-parenting\/\">model your positive behavior.<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>5. Waiting for your turn to speak.<\/h3>\n<p>Try not to<a href=\"https:\/\/childdevelopmentinfo.com\/parenting\/help-your-childs-interruption-habit\/\"> interrupt your children<\/a> when you&#8217;re having family conversations or one-on-one chats, and they&#8217;ll learn how to listen and speak when the other person is done talking. Interrupting is not entirely avoidable, as sometimes interruption is a part of normal conversation flow; however, when done in excess, it\u2019s considered rude.<\/p>\n<p>Related reading: <a href=\"https:\/\/childdevelopmentinfo.com\/parenting\/4-things-moms-can-promote-childs-independence\/\">4 Things Moms Can Do to Promote Their Child&#8217;s Independence<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Practicing good manners teaches your children responsibility, sensitivity, respect, and maturity; it stacks the odds in favor of your child growing into a well-adjusted and viable citizen in their community and the world beyond.<\/p>\n<p>For more on manners,\u00a0try these good reads:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/0789310619\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0789310619&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=childdevelopme09\">Manners Can Be Fun<\/a><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.assoc-amazon.com\/e\/ir?t=childdevelopme09&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=0789310619\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/0307888258\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0307888258&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=childdevelopme09\">365 Manners Kids Should Know: Games, Activities, and Other Fun Ways to Help Children and Teens Learn Etiquette<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.assoc-amazon.com\/e\/ir?t=childdevelopme09&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=0307888258\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1575422336\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=1575422336&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=childdevelopme09\">Dude, That&#8217;s Rude!: (Get Some Manners) (Laugh &amp; Learn)<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.assoc-amazon.com\/e\/ir?t=childdevelopme09&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=1575422336\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everyone wants a well-mannered child.
