Here are a few invaluable tips that will help your children behave well when they\u2019re out and about, visiting friends\u2019 homes, or reacting to other people.<\/span><\/p>\n

It may feel tedious and mechanical, but if you work at it, these will become knee-jerk responses\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Top Tips For Good Social Manners<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Keep reminding them about their p\u2019s and q\u2019s. Drumming in the automatic \u2018please\u2019 and \u2018thank you\u2019 response is absolutely essential.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Insist that children write proper thank you letters (as soon as they\u2019re capable) for all presents. Supervise these letters and ensure that the child writes more than a perfunctory single sentence.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Get your child into the habit of asking permission before they help themselves to food, snacks or drinks or switch on the television.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 If they follow these rules in your own house, the chances are that they will adhere to them when visiting friends\u2019 houses \u2013 other parents may find proprietorial rummaging in the fridge or channel-hopping rude and intrusive.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Help your child to find ways to control and contain anger. Tantrums are tolerated in toddlers, but uncontrolled displays of anger will not win your child any friends.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Initiate your children into the art of conversation. Sit down with them for a few minutes each day (alternatively at mealtimes) and ask them questions about their day, tell them an anecdote about your work, or discuss an item on the news\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

If children become used to this kind of interchange, they will find that conversations with other adults come naturally, and you will be spared the embarrassment of the monosyllabic child, whose unwillingness to talk to your friends and relations is absolutely palpable.<\/span><\/p>\n
