How to raise a polite child?

Every parent wants his child to be polite, and to this politeness ended not only on the words "thank you" and "please".



What is the "politeness"?


Usually an adult under politeness is usually understood as the ability to respectfully and tactfully communicate with people, willingness to compromise and listen to opposing points of view. Politeness is an expression of good manners and knowledge of etiquette. But 3-year-old child is usually put forward several other requirements. Some parents dream that their child simply saying " Hello " when meeting with friends. Others rave about that little toddler, despite his age, acting like a "lady" and "gentleman". From what is important to you personally and depends on the model of parenting.





When to learn "courtesy"?


I remember one program is dedicated to educating children and there children's psychologist asked: "My child is 3 years - when to begin to nurture? "the specialist replied that "the ignorant mommy" was late for exactly 3 years and 9 months.




With politeness things, as with education in General. The earlier you start to instill, when and what "magic" words worth talking about, the better. In other words, to become friendly with "diaper" age. How? The first stage of learning - their own experience. Moreover, this does not apply exclusively to communication between mom and dad, and between mother and child or father and child. For example: "Anna, let momma, please rattle". This form of communication the child gets used very quickly, especially in this age when he absorbs everything like a sponge.





How to start training


When the child starts to talk, many believe the "magic" words he would speak without reminders, thanks mannered parents, but the "Hello" will have to teach. Of course, lightweight "Hello" is much easier, but after 3 years you need to teach your child it is the word "Hello". This word is one of the main. Speaking of him, we denote that the one to whom we refer there for us, we wish him good health and. You also need to teach your child the words "please" and "thank you", "sorry", "goodbye". This is the minimum that should be in the lexicon trehletki: the child should know when using these words, and know how to use them. Of course, the baby will need your hints. But be careful, 3-year-old age is dangerous because the child will have to check, but really, what not - but "cannot"? So the important thing to remember about consistency and uncompromising single parents ' opinions on certain issues.

The tale


Another form, very close to the child, is a fairy tale. A wonderful tale is Charles Perrault. It is about two sisters, one of whom was polite, and the other rough. The first allowed the witch to drink from a pitcher, when we went to get water, received as a gift the ability to drop from the mouth of flowers and precious stones with each word. Second, agrabella the sorceress, was punished because he dropped his mouth snakes and toads.
