Extractions: type="text/javascript"> Clear Instructions on How To Do (just about) Everything Web eHow.com Home > Parenting It's never too early - or too late - to teach your child about proper etiquette. Steps: Set a good example. It's unfair to expect politeness of a child if his parents are not polite themselves. Teach your child manners in stages, as his comprehension and skills develop. It probably won't do any good to ask a 2-year-old to stop chewing with his mouth open; he probably lacks the understanding and physical coordination to comply. But by 4 or 5 years of age, your child should have the ability to grasp the reasoning behind such a rule. Start using words and phrases like 'please,' 'thank you,' 'excuse me,' 'I'm sorry,' and 'may I?' as early as possible around your child. Encourage your child to do the same. Take care what language you use around children; they mimic the way adults speak. Ask your child to address adults with a certain degree of formality - that is, Ms. Lee, Mrs. Doe, Mr. Smith - unless the adult tells them to do otherwise.

"Since I attest to traditions and values that I feel are necessary to maintain an orderly and civilized society, it was always my goal to teach my children the proper way to act." A retired elementary teacher from Maryland, it was Hawkins' role as mother to four girls and three boys that led her to a second career as an "etiquette guru!" Years ago, with aspirations of entering the Pillsbury Bake-Off, she created a cookie that was a great hit with her eldest daughter. It became her favorite, and Hawkins planned to name it for her. "That created a small problem because we have seven children, and the other six wanted to know why she could have a special cookie when they did not," recalled Hawkins. To keep the peace, she created six additional cookies and the

The simple fact of the matter is that children learn by watching their parents. Is it time for you to be reminded of some common courtesies that will get you and your child back in your friendsâ good graces? Our children learn their social skills from us. Being a parent, I watch other parents and how they interact with their children. Very rarely do I see a parent prompt their child to say âPleaseâ or âThank youâ and even less often do I see parents saying âPleaseâ and âThank youâ to their own children. âPleaseâ and âThank youâ are the first steps to appropriate social behavior for a child. If a child walks into somebody elseâs house and says âI want some water,â they are going to get a much different response than the child who says: âMay I have some water, please?â

Extractions: Teaching Children Manners When I began teaching in the 1990s, I was surprised by the rude and inconsiderate behavior I saw some children display at school. I expected the middle-school students to be ill-mannered; it goes with early adolesence. But even elementary-school children talked back or outright ignored adults. They threw food at one another, poured milk on the floor, and disobeyed the lunchroom monitors. On the playground, scuffles often broke out when two children wanted a single toy and neither would make the gracious gesture of allowing the other to use it first. In the classroom, students interrupted each other and the teacher. They did not request but rudely demanded assistance, materials, and attention. Clearly these children needed to learn some manne rs. Recent studies have demonstrated that one-third of career success or failure can be attributed to social skills or the lack thereof. With the current focus on making school relevant to the workplace, teachers must address the need for students to learn how to get along with others. At the elementary-school level, that means starting with the basics: nice manners. Parents and teachers have relied on literature to gently instruct their charges in the ways of polite society for many years. In 1900, Gelett Burgess penned

The Three Keys To Parenting A Polite Child manners and etiquette for Children. teach and talk about the expectations ofyour family and society as a whole using kind words, proper telephone http://www.seedsofknowledge.com/manners.html
Extractions: From Cyndee S. Harrison In my work as an etiquette instructor, I enjoy sharing parenting tips and techniques which can be easily integrated into even the busiest family's schedule. Here are the three most essential keys to helping ensure your child will grow into a polite adult: 1. PROVIDE REGULAR OPPORTUNITIES TO PRACTICE. 2. MODELING, MODELING, MODELING: In order for our children to develop the values which are essential to being a truly courteous, they must see people whom they respect and admire exhibit these same kind qualities to others. Patriotism, respect for the aged, work ethic, and a general sense of gratitude are just some of the things that children can learn by seeing from adults. And while none of us want to act like a finishing school matron all of the time, it is important that we help children see the benefits of polite behavior by demonstrating them in the things we say and do. Limit exposure to television and media (did you see the 'Best Burp' award on Nick?) influences which are incongruent to your own beliefs and values and help children understand that behaviors that may be acceptable to some families or groups are simply not OK in your own.

Extractions: BIO Dan Zevin is the author of ENTRY-LEVEL LIFE, THE NEARLY-WED HANDBOOK, and THE DAY I TURNED UNCOOL. He lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Zevin provides comic relief as he and his fans face their next transition from twentysomething to thirtysomething, and embarrassed to find themselves acting their age. A Talk with Author Dan Zevin Q: Let's start with the title. What really is "uncool" about being an adult? DZ: Well, by the end of the book, I discover that it's very cool to be an adult, but it only comes after I have a little midlife crisis. Most people start feeling uncool when they start feeling like their parents. You spend your twenties and before that your teen years coming up with a definition of "cool" that is usually the furthest thing from your parents. But once you hit your thirties, you just kind of find yourself turning into them. It all really comes down to adjusting to a new definition of "cool." And for some of us, like, say…me, the adjustment phase just takes a little longer. Maybe it's a guy thing.

Extractions: Solid Adult and IEP Session Strand at KATESOL 2004 KATESOL is the professional organization in the state of Kansas for ESL teachers and others who work with English language learners from Pre-K to 12 as well as adult and college intensive English programs. One challenge for KATESOL has been to organize the annual conference so that topics and issues of relevance to all constituencies are reflected in the conference program. The 2004 KATESOL Conference, March 12-13, in Hays, Kansas, will come very close to achieving this goal. In addition to a number of sessions of interest to public school teachers and administrators, there are also presentations of relevance directly to the important work done by adult educators and those who teach in intensive programs at universities throughout the state. It is hard to imagine anyone who has not heard of Dr. Stephen Krashen, who speaks at Friday's opening ceremony, on the evening of March 12th. Dr. Krashen's research and tireless efforts on behalf of language learners are an inspiration to every ESL, foreign language and regular classroom teacher, instructor and professor.

Timely Tips: Courtesy Counts When should adults start to teach children about manners and the importance of For example, if an adult comes into ones home and the child is watching http://web1.msue.msu.edu/msue/cyf/ttcourte.html
Extractions: Indicia Teaching young people about manners and being polite goes beyond old-fashioned notions about charm and etiquette its about respect. When kids (and adults) show courtesy and manners, they also show respect for other people. Rules of civil behavior are extremely important in the family, the school, the workplace and the entire community. The courtesy shown to others builds a positive web of human relationships. These relationships contribute significantly toward a healthy and positive moral climate in which to live. Adults show kids that all people deserve respect by being kind, helpful, patient and polite to people they come in contact with every day inside and outside of their families. When should adults start to teach children about manners and the importance of being polite? The earlier, the better! Even very young children can be taught the building blocks of manners saying please and thank you. When children learn to say Im sorry for something theyve done wrong, they learn to be accountable for their actions and behaviors. Parents and other adults need to use these phrases routinely so that children begin to understand the terms and how and why theyre used. Provide positive encouragement and compliment children when they speak kindly and politely to others.
