We all comment about how rude the teenagers and children today have become. They do not show respect to elders, do not greet others well, always seem to be in their own world and appear to have a sense of entitlement that makes them look aggressive, insensitive and impolite. But what we forget is that we raised them that way! A child’s mind is like a sponge – it will absorb everything that it sees and hears around. He notices a world that is fast becoming rude, impatient and outrageous with everything and he thinks that is the way to be. While you cannot stop your child from witnessing bad behavior of others, you can change their perception about it by inculcating polite and good behavior inside the house.
Below are 8 things you can teach your child to raise him/her as a polite human being. Most of them are old school and common sensical – but surprisingly most of them are not enforced in many homes.
Of course, we know you know this already – but you need to walk the talk! While we say “teach this” “teach that“, children learn best when they see adults around them practice this.
Happy raising a polite child!
