We cannot ignore the fact that there are people in our world who gets under our skin because they have no manners.  They have not been trained or they have forgotten the language of courtesy.  You may ask, "What is that?"  "What is the language of courtesy?"  It is simply the “proper way” we act, speak, and behave. To be courteous means we know how to conduct ourselves in a pleasing manner,  that makes others want to interacting with us. 


Remind your child to use the language of courtesy (verbally or nonverbally), and that being courteous can include…
  • Opening doors for others coming behind us
  • Saying please and thank you
  • Greeting others with a smile
  • Greeting others with a hand shake
  • Saying hello and good-bye
  • Showing appreciation when given something 
  • Deciding if you should make eye contact with person you are speaking to
  • Deciding if you need to respond when an adult speaks to you​

Remind your child that being courteous, allows us to be closer to other people.  They must also remember that some polite behavior in one culture may be different in another, so learn the language of courtesy in each culture they interact with and practice those endearing behaviors.
