Mistakes Early Childcare Givers Should Avoid When Instilling Good Manners To Kids

By Ann White


Taking care of kids is not a walk in the park. This is because during the early stages, children learn so many things, and certainly you would not want your kids to pick the wrong things from you. Remember that the behavior of your kids reflects you. If you want your kids to use courteous words like please and thank you, you have to work for it. Some children find it easy to adopt good manners, while others struggle. This means that early childcare providers should know the basis of good behaviors so that they can pass it on to the kids.

Respect to other people is one of the lessons you should introduce to your children during their early stages. Actually, a kid who clicks or makes rude comments about other people is indiscipline. The kid is also not sensitive to the feeling of other people.

Early enough, teach the kids to be sensitive to the feeling with people they come across. This will automatically ensure that the kids address people with respect. Also, teach your kids that their behaviors can easily hurt tougher people. They should therefore weigh what they are about to say or comment about others.

Do not wait until the kids are grown to begin teaching them polite words. Even kids who are only two years old can be trained how to say thank you and please. Even if such kids do not really understand what they are saying, they should know that saying please is the only way to get what they want. When you want your kids to give you something, start with please and finish with thank you.

Avoid pushing your kids into using polite words. The fact is that coercing the kid will only lead to resistant. If you are able to connect with your kids in the right way, it is very easy to train them how to use these words. Again, remember that you would not want the kids to use these words only when you are around. They should make these words part of their vocabulary.

Kids have a gentle spirit, and in most cases, they will not understand you when you are tough. If you want kids to be friendly to other people, you must also train yourself to speak politely to the kids. Shouting to the kids every time they make mistakes will make the kids understand that they should also shout to the people who wrong them. Teach your kids to say sorry without being shouted at or being coerced to do so.

If you have more than one kid to look after, ensure that you appreciate each kid. Every kid is different and have varying tastes and preference. It is wrong to compare kids. Even in school, understand that kids have different abilities, and you should not expect kids to be behave in the same way.

If your children understand that you love them for who they are, they will be more responsive to you. Do not at one time try to force things to your children. Instead, create more time to be with your children, so that you can be able to mentor then gradually.
