Children are wonderful gifts from God and as such, we need to impact good manners to them so as to behave well and bring happiness to the family.


In this post, we will be discussing on how to inspire manners in our children.


Below are few method to adopt.


HOW TO INSPIRE MANNERS IN YOUR CHILDREN•••

1. When entering the house greet your children or even hug them. This should help develop their sense of love and self worth.

2. Be good to your neighbours and never backbite. Never speak ill of other drivers when on the road. Your children would listen, absorb and emulate.

3. When calling your parents, encourage your children to speak to them. When visiting your parents take your children with you. The more they see you take care of your parents the more they will learn to take care of you.

4. When driving them to school, don't always play albums or cds in the car. Rather, tell them some motivational stories yourself. This will have a greater impact - trust me!

5. Read to them a short story and even a scripture a day – it doesn't take much time, but very impactful in creating strong bonds and wonderful memories.

6. Comb your hair, clean your teeth and wear presentable cloths even if sitting at home and not going out for the day. They need to learn that being clean and tidy has nothing to do with going out!

7. Try not to blame or comment on every word or action they say or do. Learn to overlook and let go sometimes. This certainly builds their self-confidence.




8. Ask your children's permission before entering their rooms. Don't just knock and enter, but then wait for a verbal permission. They will learn to do the same when wanting to enter your room.

9. Apologize to your children if you made a mistake. Apologizing teaches them to be humble and polite.

10. Don't be sarcastic or make fun of their views or feelings, even if you "didn't mean it" and was "only joking". It really hurts.

11. Show respect to your children's privacy. Its important for their sense of value and self-esteem.

12. Don't expect that they will listen or understand the first time. Don't take it personal. But be patient and consistent......Read more here: http://umahiprince..com.ng/2018/01/how-to-inspire-manners-in-your-children.html

Lovely write-up, but not all through and you forgot the part of discipline

Very Very Educative

It Doesn't Matter How Many Times You Say Something To Your Children If You Act Differently, They'd Rather Emulate Than Take 'The Good Advice'

Children Are Like Empty Sets Waiting To Be Filled With Whatever Stuff. Other Than The Genetic Traits In Behavioural Pattern A Child Is A Product Of Whatever Environment That Raised It.

When You Hear Children Of 4,5 Years Make Utterances You Can Easily Decipher The Kind Of Father, Mother, Uncles & Aunties That Has Been Making Input On The Child Knowingly Or Otherwise. If The Child Is Always Hearing One Close Auntie Curse And Abuse People For Instance It Is Expected That By Age 8 The Child Must Have Mastered The Use Of Such Languages
