1. A child should wait their
turn and not interrupt when other people are speaking, no
one can be heard if there are too many voices talking at once.
Make certain to give your child your attention when you are
finished speaking to reinforce the positive behavior of waiting
his/her turn. An idea can be: while a child is waiting, hold
their hand or put your arm around them to let them know you
are aware they are waiting their turn to speak.
|
2. Name calling, even in "fun,"
hurts.
|
3. Always greet someone with a smile when
they come over to your house. Depending on your formality,
you may ask your child to shake hands with an adult, but it
is not necessary to shake hands with another child. A nice
gesture of "hello" or "hi" when someone
visits makes a guest feel welcome.
|
4. Say: "Please" and "Thank
you" this shows respect and appreciation, in addition,
do not forget to say "you're welcome".
|
5. Clean up! It should not
matter if you are at home or a friends house always pick up
after yourself.
|
6. Show good sportsmanship.
After playing a game (sports, cards, board game) no matter
what the outcome be nice, if you win do not be a "show
off" if you loose don't get mad.
|
7. Take a compliment nicely,
if someone praises you say "thank you".
|
8. Always open doors for others.
When going into a building, allow others to go first. When
following others into a building, don't let the door slam
in the face of those behind, hold the door until the person
behind is through. Remember: if someone holds the door for
you, don't forget to say "thank you."
|
| 9. Exiting and entering elevators:
allow those in the elevator to exit first before entering
the elevator, don't be the pushy one!. |
|
10. Respect differences, others may do things differently
from you. Families or friends have their own traditions,
maybe you will learn some thing new!
