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.

The good news is that you can train your kid good manners. A child is termed as well behaved if he or she respects others. Respecting one another will only come if the kid is sensitive on other people feeling.

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.

If you want your kids to enjoy language, you should also make it fun for them to learn. Do not push kids too much. Be patient with them. At times, kids may take too long to adopt good manners. This may at times, make you feel like you are not achieving anything. However, be persistence and train them with love. Over time, the kids will come to adopt these manners.

Even when your kid is on the wrong, ensure that you do not yell at him or her. Many parents think that they can correct their kids by instilling fear on them. However, this is not the case. The fact is that you can reap more fruits when you correct your kid with love.

The other mistake people make is comparing kids. The fact is that kids can never be the same. There are certainly kids that will be good than others at some areas. Comparing the kids will only breed hatred among the kids, again, if you want to teach you kids never to compete with others, you should also avoid comparing them with other kids.

Also, bond with the kids. Today, many parents have no time for their children. They are too busy to get time to bond with their kids. Ensure that you bond with your kids as much as you can. This will ensure that your kids feels loved and appreciated. You will also get to know your kids better.
