Question

Whats the best way you can train your child in a proper way of behavior?

Answer 1

The same s*x parent is the best role model for a child.  If that is available it is important to lead by example.  I taught and am teaching my 5 yr. old son and 2 yr. old daughter that gentlemen act this way and ladies act this way.  I explain that it isn't nice to do ??? (whatever the act may be) and that ladies and gentlemen don't behave that way.  I never tell them they are being bad, I explain things as being not nice.  I don't want them to think or believe they are bad children.  This way seems to work, I have a 10 yr. old daughter and she is very well behaved.

Answer 2

they often follow their parents behavior.

Answer 3

act that way yourself... ALL the time (which is a lot harder than it seems! Lol)... and i never said YOU can't act like that... i always said WE do it this way... so it's a learning thing and not a punishing thing....

there's a series of pooh bear books called "oh bother, someone is..." fibbing, grousing... whatever... i don't know how old your child is, but we used them with my lil boy... when he was rude we'd just say "ohhhhhh botherrrrrr" and not only did it remind him it gave him a little giggle... lol....

good luck... TY for being someone that wants to teach manners! lol........

Answer 4

show them every day of their lives how they should be acting by acting that way yourself, never miss an opportunity for a lesson, kids will pick up on the most subtle things, things we would never imagine.correct them any time you see them do something they shouldnt, but not ONLY correct them, show the the proper way...... life is the best teacher of all, but it takes patience, and consistency to get it done properly.

Answer 5

Read to him/her.  I like the books "My Book of Bible Stories" and there is another I can't remember the name of.  They are free from Jehovah's Witnesses.  Write me and I'll mail them to you.

Answer 6

Teach by example. If you respect others and behave in a proper manner your child will see what you do and imitate you the best they can.

Also praise your child when he or she shows proper behavior to you and others and when there is need, give 1 warning and if unheeded and corrected, have 1 consequence that is age appropriate.

Answer 7

What I'm learning more than anything is to lead by example...Children are going to do the most what they see us doing...Not saying

Answer 8

Read books on manners (Grover's Book on Manners, for example with Grover the monster from Sesame Street) and Richard Scarry has a manners book.

Tell them why (if you can) things are done.

Example 1: Boys hold the door open for others, because it shows respect.

Example 2: I want you to look at me when I talk. If you talk, and someone looks away, it doesn't feel very good.

Answer 9

now im not saying to just beat your kid but im letting you know that just talking is pointless so you better get somthing good before this happens
