Children love to put up good habits and be praised for them. But they needed to be taught good behaviours and continued reinforcement till they become automatic.

When children show their manners always, it is more likely for them to follow through them to adulthood, making them responsible and well-behaved adults.

Here are some basic rules that should be taught to every child.
1. Speak politely to people especially if you are asking for help.

2. Use your magic words always.

3. Say thank you if someone has been helpful even to vendors and service providers.

4. If you need to get by say excuse me- don’t just force yourself through a narrow space.

5. Chew your food with your mouth closed.

6. Don’t talk while you have a mouthful. If you must, swallow your food before you speak to avoid choking
