My boys are just wonderful. Really, the best little guys. When they misbehave, I have to consider any time I've ever been in a store. Children in general lack manners. And they're very very loud. And disrespectful. And loud. I see that and want to rush home and tell my boys how proud I am of them. No clue where they get that. They're just wonderful boys.
Seriously, manners is one of the easiest things to begin teaching children. Also possibly one of the hardest to deeply instill in them. Who says "thank you" and "please" all the time? Who would want to? And how would a child be expected when to and when not to. Not easy. But the simple part is beginning the thing - saying thank you when someone hands you something. Adding the word please when asking nicely for something. That's a start. Not sure my boys were ever taught that so much as just knowing it. Maybe I've mentioned it - they're phenomenal children.
