Manners and social skills are learned! They’re easier for some than for others, but important for everyone. Keep expectations reasonable and age appropriate, but practice frequently. Saying please, thank you, hello and making eye contact and sharing are all important skills children need in school, and life!
There are many great children’s books that address these issues, and lead to good discussions. For example:
Berenstain Bears series
Arthur on PBS
Barney on PBS
Try to limit screen time, but if you do watch shows, PBS has wonderful and educational children’s programming for a range of different interests.
Boredom is a wonderful motivator!! Have things available for your children to do and watch creativity and learning happen!
