Etiquettes and Manners for Children Etiquette for children is important as it helps them develop social skills, respect for others, and confidence in various situations. Here are some key etiquette tips for children: Polite Greetings: Teach your child to greet others with a simple "hello" or "good morning/afternoon" when meeting someone, including adults and peers. Use of Please and Thank You: Encourage your child to use "please" when making requests and "thank you" when receiving something or being helped. Table Manners: Teach basic table manners such as sitting properly, using utensils correctly, chewing with their mouth closed, and not interrupting others while they are eating or speaking. Respecting Personal Space: Help your child understand the concept of personal space and the importance of not invading others' personal boundaries. Listening Skills: Teach them to listen attentively when others are speaking, wait for their turn to speak, and not interrupt conversations. Sharing and Taking Turns: Encourage sharing toys and taking turns during playtime to foster cooperation and empathy. Handling Disagreements: Teach them to resolve conflicts peacefully by using words to express their feelings and finding compromises rather than resorting to physical actions or tantrums. Phone and Video Call Etiquette: If your child uses phones or participates in video calls, teach them to answer politely, speak clearly, and not to interrupt or talk over others. Respecting Elders: Instil the value of respecting elders by teaching your child to address them politely (e.g., Mr., Mrs., Miss) unless instructed otherwise. Gratitude and Apologies: Encourage your child to apologize when they make a mistake or hurt someone unintentionally, and to express gratitude when receiving help or gifts. Public Behaviour: Teach appropriate behaviour in public places, such as not running around in restaurants or stores, and being mindful of others around them. Self-care: Teach basic hygiene practices such as covering their mouth when coughing or sneezing, washing hands before eating, and using tissues appropriately. Internet Etiquette: As children use digital devices, teach them about internet safety, the importance of kindness in online interactions, and the consequences of cyberbullying. Graciousness in Winning and Losing: Teach your child to be gracious whether they win or lose in games or competitions, emphasizing good sportsmanship. Role Modelling: Children often learn by example, so model good manners and etiquette in your own behaviour, as they are likely to emulate what they see. By teaching children these etiquettes early on and reinforcing them consistently, you help them develop into considerate, respectful, and confident individuals who can navigate social situations with ease.
