As your child grows older, they\u2019re able to respond to situations differently than they used to as a baby. Being able to understand verbal commands and speak fluently helps them engage better with those around them and express their emotions and opinions. So how do you ensure that your child is more empathetic in their social interactions<\/u><\/a>?<\/p>\n

Here\u2019re 4 manners your child needs to learn in their formative years.<\/p>\n

Saying \u201cPlease\u201d & \u201cThank You\u201d<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s never too early to teach your child to say their \u201cPs and Qs\u201d<\/i><\/em>! The simple act of saying \u201cplease\u201d and \u201cthank you\u201d help your child practice common courtesy at an early age and teaches them how to be polite to people<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Moreover, saying these basic words also helps in building and maintaining relationships. Studies<\/u><\/a>\u00a0have shown that expressing gratitude verbally or through other means such as thank you notes makes you more interpersonally warm and positively affects your relationships as you grow older.<\/p>\n

Saying \u201cExcuse Me\u201d <\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Whether they\u2019re trying to get somebody\u2019s attention or are making their way in a crowded space, saying these two words is the polite thing to do. Saying \u201cexcuse me\u201d indicates that they respect the person they\u2019re speaking to and would appreciate a response. In fact, people are more likely to respond to someone who politely utters these words rather than someone who talks loudly to get others to listen to them.<\/p>\n

\u201cExcuse me\u201d also prevents your child from bumping into somebody on a busy street or from invading others\u2019 personal space.<\/p>\n

Not Making Fun of Anyone<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n

While it\u2019s okay to joke around with other kids, make sure your child understands the line between harmless banter and making fun of somebody. Teach your child the importance of their words and actions, and the impact they have on others.<\/p>\n

Letting them know that what they say or do can hurt the feelings of somebody else is imperative in helping them express their own emotions and being kind to others. It also allows them to manage any negative feelings they may have regarding somebody.<\/p>\n

Not Interrupting Anyone<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Nobody likes being interrupted while they\u2019re speaking. Doing so indicates that you\u2019re not respecting the speaker and displays rudeness and ungraciousness on your part.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Teach your child to be an active listener and not talk over someone else while they\u2019re speaking. Instead, they should wait for their turn to voice their opinions and concerns. If they feel like they won\u2019t be heard otherwise, encourage them to say \u201cexcuse me\u201d before saying what they have to, or raising their hand (for example, in a classroom discussion).<\/p>\n
