Good behavior needs to be learned.

Which parenting tips should make children polite adults?

An American therapist performs a combination.

Saying “thank you” and “please”, maintaining eye contact during conversation, eating with silverware at the table and always asking questions before simply taking the neighbor's child's toys: Good behavior makes life a whole lot easier.

Children learn a lot just by observing.

In this way, they acquire many behaviors that are perceived as positive in society.

This includes, for example, letting people finish speaking or offering older people a seat in the crowded subway.

But upbringing also makes an important contribution when it comes to the manners of children.

Parents should not only model good behavior for their children, but also explain to them what is important and why.

That is not always easy.

Because children are also shaped by the media, in kindergarten or in sports clubs - and they also notice impolite behavior there.

There are also forms of behavior circulating on the Internet that are offensive and hurtful.

It is all the more important that legal guardians get involved extensively.

Good parenting isn't always easy, but it pays off for the child in the end.

Teaching good behavior: three rules that promise success

For many parents and other guardians, the topic of "teaching manners" represents a challenge. There is sometimes a great fear of doing something wrong or not teaching all the important rules.

Siggie Cohen, an American child and family therapist, sees three pillars as the optimal way to teach the child good behavior.

She explains this in an interview with the

verywellfamily

portal :

  • Direct instructions (e.g., "If you get something as a gift, you should always say thank you")

  • modeling the desired behavior

  • Reinforce expectations with praise and consequences

According to Cohen, it is important to formulate your own expectations of the child.

It is best to do this with an explanation of why this or that manner is important.

Because if the child understands the rules of conduct, they are more likely to stick to them.

For example, if you want to teach your child to involve others in play, one argument can be that it makes everyone feel welcome and important.
