There are manners that never get old. These are the manners that need to be taught to children and teenagers.
At first glance, these are trivial truths. Here are ten of the most old-fashioned manners.
They can be divided into two categories: "words of politeness" and "politeness in action".
Polite words
Politeness begins with speech. Below are the most important words that every child needs to learn.
Two polite words: "thank you" and "please". Many parents complain that their children are very capricious and often say the word "give". Words of request and gratitude before and after the request, according to experts, can make the situation better. These same words motivate action.
Say the words "sorry", "excuse me" in appropriate situations. For example, accidentally stepped on someone's foot in a crowd, etc. There are parents who are convinced that this excessive politeness and courtesy will lead to nothing. Reality forces you to go ahead. However, moderate and appropriate politeness is always useful.
Politeness in action
Politeness is also shown in deeds. Simple actions will help you master the first basics of politeness:
Don't interrupt the speaker. The ability to listen to another person is an important and useful skill. This quality will come in handy in both personal and professional life. This is one of the traits of an intelligent person.
Do not comment on the appearance and physical shortcomings of others. Perhaps this point does not need to be commented on. It is worth adding only that a person is defined by his ideas and actions.
Always ask permission to take something that does not belong to you. Simply put, ask permission from another person to take a toy, etc. You need to respect other people's property. Permissiveness complicates life, and understanding and respecting other people's property makes it much easier.
You should always knock before entering. And this applies equally to parents and children. After all, everyone has the right to be alone, to rest. Entering without knocking is impolite, as it can catch a person off guard.
Calling people by their first names. Most people enjoy hearing their own name.
When coughing or yawning, cover your mouth with your hand. This is a banal habit that for some reason many adults forget about.
Always clean up your toys and food. Independence and the development of the ability to take care of yourself begin with these actions. And then such a skill as responsibility for your actions will naturally appear.
Don't litter. It's important to explain to your child from childhood that they need to clean up every candy wrapper they throw away. After all, someone will have to do it.
Here are ten simple tips that will definitely help your child become polite and independent.
