10 Top Manners Your Pre-school Child Should Know

  • Link Copied

The other day I saw a teenager behave very oddly in public; everyone blamed his parents for the way he was brought up.  Truly most kids are developmentally ready and eager to learn how to engage appropriately in public at a very young age, so parents need to teach them some important manners.



10 top manners your pre-school child should know:  



1. Your pre-school child should know that they should ask before taking something that belongs to someone else even of parents; children should be taught how to ask before taking.



2. There is nothing more disgusting than having spittle flying from little noses and mouths; even young children need to be taught to cover their mouths when they sneeze or cough.



3. The words, “please” and “thank you” are magical words; teaching children how to use these words when young at home itself would make these courtesies a habit for a lifetime.



4. There is no humility better than teaching a child how to say “I am sorry”; it should be said from the heart and not to just please an angry parent or teacher. It has been well-said that empathy is a definite life skill.



5. Even pre-school children need to be taught not to make fun of other people; parents need to teach them that pointing out flaws and making fun of others would hurt others feelings unnecessarily, and create a bad impression of them.



6. Even young children need to be taught to knock at the door before entering; teaching them this important attribute would make them realize that they should respect the privacy of others.



7. One important habit that parents need to teach pre-school children is to sit quietly when necessary; it is rude to talk through the entire movie and to wiggle and giggle in less interesting situations. They need to be made to understand that patience is definitely a virtue.



8. Even pre-school children need to be taught how to patient and say, “Excuse me!” even young children need to taught that they cannot interrupt people and have to gently ask to be excused. 


Table manners



9. Table manners need to be taught to children at a young age; children need to be taught the right way to use the cutlery and not talk with their mouths full. Practice of these habits at home will make it a habit even in public.  



10. Lastly children need to be taught how to be helpful and compassionate at an early age; they could offer to hold the door for someone’s whose hands are full or offer help to teachers and parents in chores. Learning ways to be helpful and compassionate would not only make them enjoy a high self-esteem, but others would also like them.
