Relax! Your child’s rude attitude isn’t always intentional. Sometimes kids just don’t realize it’s impolite to interrupt, pick their nose, or loudly observe that the lady walking in front of them has a large behind. And in the hustle and bustle of daily life, busy moms and dads don’t always have the time to focus on etiquette. But if you reinforce these 15 must-do manners, you’ll raise a polite, kind, well-liked child.

15 Manners Kids Should Know

1) Say please and thank you when asking and receiving things.

2) When others are talking, wait – do not interrupt. If you do need to interrupt, try saying “excuse me” and then wait.

3) If you have something unpleasant to say, be it about the meal or the way someone looks in the line at the grocery, keep your opinion to yourself.

4) Don’t pick your nose in public… don’t pick your brother’s nose.

5) Use your words to build people up. Do not tease or make fun of others.

6) Cover your mouth when you sneeze, and if you are close to someone and feel a sneeze coming on, turn away to avoid sneezing on them.

7) If you have something on your mouth or nose, use a napkin or tissue to remove it – not your clothes.

8) If someone is coming through the door behind you, hold the door open for them… and then…

9) Close the door behind you… if you are going outside, to the bathroom, getting in/out of the car – if you are able, and no one is coming behind you – close the door.

10) Knock on doors to someone’s private space prior to entering. For example, before entering a friend’s house, or a sibling’s bedroom, if the door is closed get permission before entering.

11) Pick up your toys when you are finished playing with them – especially if you are playing at a friends house.

12) When someone is talking to you, put down your distractions (toys, technology, books, etc) and look them in the eyes – show them you are listening.

13) When you are inside, use an inside voice. Try to match your volume to your environment.

14)  Keep your hands to yourself.  Unless someone gives you permission you should not touch them or their things.

15)  When eating, finish your mouthful before talking.  Do not reach over others at the table and stay seating while others are eating.
