A first impression can help your child in many ways.
Proper manners will give the impression that your child is respectful, polite and courteous.
Saying please and thank you can be taught at an early age and will go a long way towards helping your child get along with other children, as well as the adults around them.
Children with good manners earn respect immediately; this can make them feel like they have earned that respect.
Dr. Corinn Cross discusses all the advantages of good manners and how your child will benefit from a lifetime of kindness and respect towards the people around them.
