Adults could lay the foundation of children&#8217;s good behaviour by <\/span><b>modelling the use of magic words in daily life<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Let children know it&#8217;s important to say:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;<\/span><b>Hello<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,&#8221; &#8220;<\/span><b>Good morning<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,&#8221; or &#8220;<\/span><b>Good evening<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8221; when meeting people<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;<\/span><b>Please<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8221; when asking or requesting something<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;<\/span><b>Thank you<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8221; when receiving something or expressing gratitude<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;<\/span><b>I&#8217;m sorry<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8221; when they hurt others through words or actions<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;<\/span><b>Excuse me<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8221; to attract others&#8217; attention.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h4><b>Acting as a Good Guest Or Host<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Demonstrate how to <\/span><b>be polite and considerate when visiting or receiving friends and relatives<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Children should know it&#8217;s important to be on time, consider others&#8217; routines, and express their expectations without being stubborn, vague or hurtful, especially when eating and playing with peers. They should learn to share toys when playing and keep them in their original place after the game is over.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lessons on &#8220;table manners&#8221; also form a major part of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">social manners and etiquette for students<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Children must know that they should:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wash up before and after meals<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chew with their mouths closed<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hold and use the cutlery correctly<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use the napkin<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid talking while swallowing or chewing something.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h4><b>Practising Little Acts Of Kindness<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preschoolers are naturally curious and observant. When they see us behaving nicely with our subordinates or doing things to make others happy, they naturally pick it up and make it a part of their behaviour. We should <\/span><b>create opportunities for children to understand and practise kindness<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. E.g., tending to the sick and elderly, feeding stray animals and birds, holding the door to let others pass, helping other kids with their classwork, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h4><b>Being Respectful Towards Others<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Respect is <\/span><b>important for ensuring feelings of safety, trust and general wellbeing.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It doesn&#8217;t come naturally, but children gradually learn it through various actions in different situations. E.g., respecting others&#8217; privacy by knocking on their door or asking permission before entering their room, not making fun of their friends by calling them mean names or using bad words, maintaining eye contact while talking, and using the right words to address people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s important for adults to be consistent, patient, and approachable while instilling good manners in students. We <\/span><b>cannot command good manners from kindergarten students<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">; it should come naturally. However, we can <\/span><b>tell them why it is important<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><b>encourage them to behave nicely<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to be a better person.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Respect, empathy, kindness and humility are key values that are promoted and practised at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chrysaliskids.com\/\"><b>Chrysalis Kids<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, one of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chrysaliskids.com\/pre-school-in-whitefield-bangalore\/\"><b>best preschool schools in Bangalore<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
