Make sure he never leaves someone waiting on the phone for more than 60 seconds and doesn t yell into the telephone for a family member to come and receive a call. Holidays and birthdays usually mean lots of gifts for kids. Before your child opens her gifts, explain to her that it s not polite to say, I have this, or I don t like it. Children should start writing thank-you notes at an early age. Younger children can dictate a note to parent or simply sign their name to a note that was written for them.
Toddlers can draw a picture of the gift they received.
When a child is able to write on her own, she should personalise the note by acknowledging the specific gift she received. Talk to your child about the reason for sending a thank-you note. Entice your child into prompt thank-you note writing with monogrammed stationary, stickers, and fancy writing utensils, as well computer software programs that let your child create personalised notes.
