How do you teach kids table manners??We Answered:
try giving them easy foods to eat then just remind them how to eat politely. then praise them each time they do it your way. take one day ask what your kid wants for dinner and make a deal with the 7 year old if i make this will u show me how good u can be at the table. and praise him if hes good maybe he just needs to be re taught or is doing it because your up tight about it. i have also took the plate away if they were licking it and asked is that the right way to eat and then let them answer and give it back then say ok lets try to eat the right way. just keep your cool and try it again til it gets better do it at each meal not just dinner. make a chart and for a certain about of days they r good mannered take them out use a dinner out as a reward and say something like ok here's the real deal lets see if we can show what we are learning at home. i had 3 under 5 with some of these problems including food fights and crawling across the table to hand take food off each others plate. now 5, 7 and 9 they are great. and dinner table is a great time to communicate with your kids.Melanie Said:
Being a young Mother do you feel it is important to teach your kids proper manners?We Answered:
i wouldn't say i am the youngest mother, but i had twins at 21 (they are now 3). yes it is VERY important to me to teach my kids proper manners. i find my self constantly saying "and what do you say?" to my girls trying to get them to say please or thank you. and whenever they say them by themselves i tell them how nice of a girl they are being to encourage them to say it again in the future. my kids do pick up their toys by themselves- mealtime or outings don't start until all their toys are cleaned up (i do help them though). being a religious family, we do teach our kids prayer, but only at dinner time. they sing (to the tune of are you sleeping):"god our father, god our father
we thank you, we thank you
we thank you for our meal time
and our many blessings
a-a-men, a-a-men"
the song really encourages prayer- they fight over singing it all the time. we usually sing it as a whole family to break up this fight. but i think that manners are very important no matter how old the mom is. nobody is going to want to listen to a child who has no manners it just makes them come off as rude.

How should I teach kids in a fun way about manners?We Answered:
i work with 3 yr olds, and i usually use practical examples. ex: during lunch, make up songs on how to ask for juice or food.i also bought this cute book called please say please (pre-k level), and i make the kids act out what they do wrong, and then i (the book) asks if its wrong to do that (the kids yell out yeeeesss), and then we act out the right way of saying or doing it. another thing you can do is use positive reinforcement. put a board up and write points or stick stickers for every action made with proper manners (identify 5-6 manners u want to work on). i use verbal feedback by easedropping in convos between kids and just shouting out, "great asking" or "wow i love the way you used your napkin", and announcing to the parents (in front of the child) what he did. u couldnt believe how there face lights up when they notice u noticed...just make sure it's age appropriate.
one book i found for age 4-6 is "Manners can be fun" by munro leaf...check ur local or any online bookstore for children's books

Do parents teach their kids manners any more?We Answered:
Good question. I sometimes wonder that myself.Yes, my parents taught me proper manners and I do use them.
What really irks me today is the lack of respect shown by children and teens to their parents or other adults.
Another thing that really bothers me...kids whose parents let them dress in these "fashions" that are repulsive to others around them (for instance, the pants that where the crotch is at the knees and half of their underwear is showing...I applaud schools and cities who have banned this practice...it's nauseating).
As for dealing with it...I can ask a child or teen to behave but the chances are, they won't. If they don't respect their parents, how are they going to respect any other adult?

Should they teach kids manners in school?We Answered:
Definitely. I am currently going to school to be a teacher and my intention is to be a serious hard nose. The children will greet me when I enter the class, and the children will ask permission before they leave at the end of class. The only time I want to hear chatter is when I ask for discussion, and if someone raises a hand.Also, iPod's and tech gadgets will be confiscated if they are brought out in my class, they are there to learn, period.
