Why you need to know the rules of courtesy. Rules of polite behavior and communication for children

It is always pleasant to communicate with a well-mannered, cultured, educated, polite person! A lot depends on our ability to behave in relation to other people in life, and often we do not understand or underestimate this. Circle of friends and acquaintances, reputation in the team, success in business, harmony in personal life- well-being in any of these areas, you see, largely depends on how we communicate and behave with other people.

Being polite is actually not always easy. Many of our entourage or even outsiders do not really like us or frankly do not sympathize, often behave with restraint and adequately interfere with troubles in personal life, fatigue, stress. But one of the most important qualities the successful modern person is self-control and courtesy. This is why it is so important that our children learn this from the very early childhood... A polite child will always be preferred to a rude and boorish one, even and especially when he grows up. And you need to forge the iron while it is hot, that is, it is necessary to teach children the rules of politeness from an early age.

Rules of polite behavior and communication for children

Probably the most universal rule can be the well-known one: do to others the way you want others to do to you. But children do not always consciously want to be greeted or paid the slightest attention to them. However, one cannot do without this in the formation of politeness.

Perhaps, it follows from the fact that to explain to the child what politeness is, what polite children are and why it is better and even very important to be polite. Then gradually move on to practice and begin to apply the knowledge gained in Everyday life... A very convenient help for parents are the courtesy rules for children in pictures, the courtesy rules for children in verses and many other publications, which will not be difficult to find and buy today.

It is hardly possible to clearly and point by point set out all the rules of polite behavior, because in almost every life situation or a small episode of yourself can be led in a certain way. But the starting point can be the study, understanding and application of the so-called magic words, words of courtesy: “hello”, “goodbye”, “thank you”, “thank you”, “sorry”, “allow”, “please”, “be so kind " etc. But you can use them completely different situations... For example, asking for an apology is not only when you do something wrong, wrong, cause inconvenience to someone, or feel guilty about yourself. The word “sorry” can be both a request (for example, when trying to move forward in a crowd of people or wanting to ask something), and a way to attract attention (for example, by engaging in other people's conversation).

Using verbal (i.e. verbal) courtesy tools will get better as you increase life experience Child: The more he meets and interacts with other children and adults, the more he can practice.

The words of gratitude deserve special attention. You need to thank not only for the gifts or surprises provided, and this should be done even in those cases if the present was not to your taste. With words of gratitude, you need to respond to the compliment said to yourself, to the service or help provided. By the way, helping others is also a sign of politeness.

It is possible to be impolite without even using these special words. The kid needs to be explained that it is unacceptable to call names, to ridicule or invent nicknames for other people, to emphasize their shortcomings, to express aloud their dissatisfaction or anger. Instead, you need to compliment others and express praise, celebrate the merits and good qualities, be able to listen and be interested in the personal affairs of others. For example, after answering given to the child the question of how he is doing will politely ask his interlocutor about the same.

Without even saying a word (and often children do not want to answer a greeting or goodbye), you can behave politely or ugly. A sincere smile in return can replace words that are sometimes so difficult to pronounce. The same smile in the appropriate situation may be completely inappropriate and speak of bad parenting.

A polite child should know and understand that others need to be respected (especially adults and even more so - teachers), that you cannot think only about yourself and your comfort, that interrupting unless absolutely necessary or shouting, talking loudly in public places is ugly, just like, as well as picking your nose or biting your nails.

There are many other rules of courtesy, among which there are some more basic ones:

  • Always say hello first and answer the greeting.
  • Smile, be in a good mood.
  • Don't interrupt when others are talking.
  • When entering a closed door, knock.
  • Coming out of closed door, hold it with your hand.
  • Cover your mouth with your palms when coughing or sneezing.
  • If you yawn or hiccup while talking to your interlocutor, you need to apologize.
  • Ask permission if you are unsure of something.
  • Use the word "can": can I ask you? let me ask? allow me to pass?
  • Do not show that you are not interested.
  • Don't argue, avoid conflicts.
  • Do not respond rudely to rudeness.
  • Remember: a polite person will never intentionally offend another or create trouble for him.

There are many rules of courtesy for children and adults. But a child brought up in a cultured, educated family, many of them will feel intuitively, even without special emphasis on them by adults.

Raising a polite child: rules for parents

Probably, many parents will agree that children learn bad things faster and easier than good ones. It is worth sending the kid to kindergarten or taking a walk in the yard near the "bad" company, as in the culture of behavior and communication of the child there is already something to work on.

Meanwhile, it is also true that no matter how we raise our children, they will still be like their parents. And this means that raising a child, teaching him polite communication and the behavior makes no sense if we ourselves do otherwise. Whether we like it or not, whether we notice it or not, children always copy their mothers and fathers, although not always to the same extent.

So the rules of politeness exist not only and not so much for children as, first of all, for parents. And the most important thing, the most important of them, is to be the best example for the child!

You can tell the kid a thousand times that it is ugly and unworthy to start arguing and swearing, but once you have a row in the store with the man who pushed you, the child will take exactly this behavior as a model. Learn to control your thoughts, emotions and actions in any situation and maintain a good demeanor, no matter the setting. And, by the way, it is necessary to start with communication with the child: use the words of politeness when addressing him, have the patience to listen to the end and not interrupt, be able to ask for forgiveness and be sincerely grateful.

Trying to instill in the child the rules good taste, follow the recommendations that will help you achieve the desired goal and not get the opposite result:

  1. From the first days of your communication with your baby, build warm, kindred, trusting relationship... Then you will be an authority for the child, he will listen to your instructions, will turn to you for help and advice.
  2. Start your courtesy training with early age: not even talking kids everyone understands perfectly!
  3. Use game form learning: role-playing games reading thematic literature, discussing images or life situations.
  4. Do not impose courtesy rules on children. Do not force them to act or speak in a certain way, do not scold for "wrong" behavior or shout.
  5. Provide a choice to do one way or another, but at the same time explain the advantages of one tactic and the disadvantages, consequences of another.
  6. Explain why you should do this and not otherwise.
  7. Do not read, scold, or lecture in front of other people.
  8. Do not be ashamed of the child's behavior or shame him. Emphasize how you should have done, criticize the behavior, but never the child.
  9. Always take into account the peculiarities of the character and temperament of the baby, his mood and well-being. The personality of your child, his feelings should be above the established rules in society.
  10. Praise your politeness and culture. Celebrate how pleased you are.

Teaching children to be polite should be unobtrusive, harmonious, and bring mutual pleasure. In this process, not only the child, but also the adult is improving. It's easier for polite people to find mutual language, and this is so important!

Especially for - Ekaterina Vlasenko

Politeness was always highly valued. Parents sometimes feel ashamed and embarrassed when faced with their child's reluctance to say goodbye and say hello. Parents try to correct such an omission in the upbringing of a child as soon as possible, but they do not always know how to do it.

Why are courtesy rules needed?
Children are our joy, and we are also responsible for their development and upbringing. Often parents do not know how to properly raise their child, remember their own parents and completely copy their upbringing. But time makes different demands on parenting. It is difficult to reach children with authoritarianism and exactingness.

Why a child needs to know the rules of politeness A child is a person, he wants to be treated politely, and there is no need to forget about it. Perhaps the child does not quite understand why he needs to say hello if he does not want to do this. In any case, an adult will need patience and endurance to explain to a child why these words of greeting need to be said. You need to explain in clear and simple language, without edification.

You should not make scandals about the politeness of the baby, it is simply useless. Courtesy rules are difficult for children. Learning etiquette takes time, a systematic approach, and calmness. When parents want to take a crash course, they will only irritate and disobey the child.

Courtesy rules.
At home, the child receives his first lessons in etiquette. He is brought up not by words, but by ordinary family everyday life, examples of goodwill. If a child is watching sincere sympathy to the people around him, then he will try to imitate adults, learn the norms of behavior, learn to please those he meets with friendly words. In the future, such learned norms will grow into moral principles.

If good manners are “trained”, this behavior will not produce a kind and affable person. If parents force and force, say hello, good evening then they will interfere with the development of emotions in the child. Parents need to decide what is most important for them, to bring up a responsive, sensitive person, or someone who is perfectly polite. If people are empathetic, then they cannot be impolite.
There are several options for teaching a child the rules of etiquette:

1. Create such game situation for the toys to greet each other. After several days of such play, it will be easier for the kid to switch to greeting with the people around him.

2. Praise your child as an incentive to learn etiquette. Celebrate the child's desired behavior with enthusiastic words.

3. Provide a choice, but also explain what the greeting means and how the person feels if they are cheated by the greeting.

Etiquette rules for children.
For a child to know the rules of behavior, it is necessary to teach politeness from an early age. Etiquette for children goes along with the courtesy rules of the parents themselves. When you show your child courtesy lessons, he will look at you and learn this from you.

Do not require your child to follow the norms and rules of behavior if you do not follow them yourself. For example, you say that you need to say hello to people you know, but you yourself walk past your neighbor and do not say hello, because you recently had an argument with her. The next time the child will not say hello either.

Another situation, you met a colleague who came from vacation and share the news with her. And then a colleague makes a remark to your kid why he did not greet her. And in response, you hear that the child replies that he does not greet strangers... And that's right, because you adults do not greet strangers, so why should your baby say hello.

Mom's mistake is that she should introduce the child and introduce each other. Or a colleague should be the first to lend a hand to get to know the baby. Then the awkward situation could have been avoided.

Every family has its own established orders and rules. In some family, they are grateful for a trifle, for dinner, for serving compote, and so on. In another family, the whole family on any holiday together, they give small souvenirs to each other. These rules are easy for children to learn, and they follow them with pleasure.

There are families where, in a fit of anger, obscene language flies out in front of a child. This does not mean that you are not well-mannered person, but just listening to you and looking at you, the child can easily repeat it. In such cases, do not yell at the child or draw your attention to it. He will immediately record all this in his memory.

Treat this with dignity and calmly, tell the baby that some words are ugly and unpleasant, you should not say them. And there are many other words to express your displeasure and anger. But do not be indignant if you yourself are far from all this, and obscene expressions fly out with enviable regularity.

If you want to teach a child to be polite, then these words in the child's speech should appear from an early age, when he learns to speak. If you are asking a child, start the phrase with the words "please," and when you finish, say "thank you."

Try to thank the kid for his understanding, for obedience. Encourage your child to be polite. For your baby to know these rules of etiquette, you need to be an example to him.

As a result, the rules of etiquette and politeness for children must be observed, and using these methods, you can believe that the child will grow up as a benevolent and well-mannered person.

Throughout life, a person comprehends the rules of communication in society. In formal form, they are expressed by the rules of etiquette. Polite behavior stimulates people to communicate and interact, it is like water that stimulates a plant to grow. Respect for the personal space of another person has always been highly valued in highly developed societies. Rules of etiquette and politeness: we understand the intricacies of communication.

The main forms of secular behavior

There are three main forms in the communication of people: official, unofficial, impersonal. Let's consider the main aspects.

Official

This species is characterized by increased tact. Any appeal contains "you", "you", "you". Positive action accompanied by gratitude, for example, "thank you", "very nice", "I am grateful to you", "you are so kind", to which it is customary to answer with remarks "there is nothing for that", "glad you liked it", "eat to your health" (if you were treated to food). In addition to the appeal "you" in corporate business ethics, position, rank, achievements can be emphasized.


Unofficial

This form is used when communicating well-known and close people. It is characterized minimal set strict conventions. The address is accompanied by the personal pronoun "you", "you", "with you." The answers are simpler: “thank you”, “be healthy”, “address”.


Impersonal

This species is characterized by the absence of a personal pronoun. The words seem to be addressed to the air or to all at once, for example, “don't tell me what time it is? "," Tell me how to get to the square. "

The designated norms of the transition in communication from the appeal of "you" to "you" do not exist, often this happens with a long close communication... Poorly educated people are distinguished by their appeal to "you" to everyone without exception. In any interaction between people (with rare exceptions), one of the parties is the initiator. The first, when meeting, under the condition of mutual visibility, shows signs of courtesy:

  1. man to woman;
  2. subordinate to the superior;
  3. junior senior;
  4. incoming to those present;
  5. suitable for standing.


How to behave?

  • Addressing another person should not be rude, aggressive, loud.
  • A person's movements should be measured and calm without sharp turns and jerking.

  • When communicating, it is advisable to use the words "please", "thank you", "all the best" and the like, you can not use abusive expressions.
  • You can't laugh loudly, grin, passing by strangers.

If the matter can wait, it is impolite to leave the interlocutor in mid-sentence. Behavior should not be defiant and expansive, especially in crowded places. If you need to turn to someone, you should approach this person and calmly ask, and not shout, disturbing and annoying others.

The space in any public place should be evenly distributed among all those present. If this is a bench, you need to sit in one place, and not fall apart on half of the bench. If it's a cramped space, don't:

  • spread your elbows;
  • stretch out your arms;
  • make sharp turns.


In transport, bags, backpacks are removed from the shoulders and held in hand. It is good practice to provide a seating area:

  • disabled people;
  • people with injuries of the musculoskeletal system;
  • To old people;
  • pregnant women;
  • small children;
  • women (the item is relevant for men).


Physical contact with another person is possible only with his approval. It is not recommended to touch strangers; touching acquaintances is possible only if there is an affable behavior within the framework of everyday rituals, such as shaking hands, patting on the shoulder, and friendly hugs. When interacting with another person, think about the fact that he has his own plans, needs and desires, you should not hold back someone if you can see that he wants to leave.


Rules for communicating with strangers and unfamiliar people

Communication with unfamiliar and unfamiliar people has its own characteristics:

  • When you first meet, look at the other person, but not too often.
  • Smile when communicating.
  • It is important to use the personal pronoun "you". This shows respect and is the basis for further conversation.
  • Getting to know the first, the elder takes the initiative to the younger, the man to the woman, the boss to the subordinate.
  • You can switch to “you” only at the request of the senior (boss), while the one whose hierarchy is lower can afford to call himself “you”.
  • The beginning and end of a dialogue is often accompanied by a gesture: a raised palm, a nod, a tilt of the head.
  • You need to shake hands not very hard, but not lifelessly (no more than 1-2 seconds).
  • When entering a room where, in addition to familiar people, there are strangers, you need to say hello to everyone, telling the strangers your name.
  • At the entrance, they take off their headdress, before shaking hands - gloves.


If you need any help from a stranger, you should politely say hello and ask if he can spare some of his time to help. After receiving an affirmative answer, you can state the request. If the request consists of something fleeting, for example, determining the time or location, after the greeting, you can immediately ask the question.

If a person turns to you, and you don't remember whether you know him or not, you should ask a question starting with an apology (for example, "I'm sorry, are we familiar?").


Table Conduct

A comfortable environment is especially important when eating. There are a few basic rules to follow. The pose should be straightened:

  • you can not lean on those sitting next to you, even if you are sitting shoulder to shoulder;
  • it is unacceptable to stretch your legs, they should be bent and be in front of the front legs of the chair at a short distance.

In addition, you cannot eat with your elbows apart and put them on the table. Keep your elbows close to your ribs. It is unacceptable to stretch your arms over the table, except with the intention of putting food from some dish into your plate. When visiting, it is better not to initiate a conversation at the table, it is worth leaving it to the discretion of the owners of the house.

If this public place, the old rule "when I eat, I am deaf and dumb" will not make you look bad.


In no case should you talk with food in your mouth. When chewing food, try to keep the mouth closed: this ensures that there are no chomping sounds. When using cutlery, do it carefully, without creating percussive, squeaking, scratching sounds. It is forbidden:

  • knocking on the table;
  • take food from someone else's plate;
  • indulge in;
  • toss objects;

An exception is medication prescribed with meals. The man should help the woman sitting to his right (for example, upon request, various dishes or pour drinks). Behavior should be moderate, calm and constructive towards others. Remember: nothing is valued as highly as courtesy... Everyone should have good manners and decency. In international practice, immoral and ill-mannered behavior is prohibited.

You will learn more about the basic rules of etiquette and courtesy in the following video.

You can always determine the degree of culture of a person by his behavior. It is pleasant to communicate with a well-mannered person, but rude, vulgar speech leaves the worst impression.

What is politeness

Every person is a social being. People communicate with each other, create families, become colleagues. All members of society deserve respect. To avoid conflicts, resentment, annoyance, a polite address is adopted between the interlocutors.

Politeness is the ability to communicate tactfully, listen carefully to another point of view, show tolerance, the ability to decide conflict situations in peaceful way. Politeness and decency are the very tools that make people feel comfortable and free when communicating with their own kind.


Courtesy rules

From childhood, everyone knows " magic words": Thanks, hello, sorry, sorry, thank you. Tactfulness begins with politeness. This is the international norm. If such a quality as delicacy is considered innate, then good manners can be learned. Polite people know that it is always necessary:

  • greet;
  • saying goodbye;
  • ask for forgiveness (when a mistake is made, or inconvenience to the interlocutor);
  • to be interested in (that is, to provide necessary minimum attention, for example, ask: “How are you? ");
  • do not push passers-by with your elbows in order to get somewhere;
  • do not interrupt the interlocutor, especially if he is older in age;
  • do not shout to a friend who is in the distance.

The best indicator of a person's upbringing will be his restraint. The violent manifestation of negative emotions in public.



How to be polite

The rules of politeness are instilled in a child from childhood. Parents are always the first teachers. In the morning, children and parents say to each other: “ good morning", In the afternoon -" good afternoon ", and in the evenings -" Good night". Disputed situations at home are resolved on a verbal level. Raised parents analyze the reasons for the conflict, behavioral error, explain to the child why he is wrong. The child should be given examples of how to act in a given situation. This is how little people are prepared for adulthood in society.

Psychologists say: if you start moral education a child from 2-3 years old, they are already 2-3 years late. Children take an example from the closest people. They imitate mom and dad, and it starts from the cradle.

The courtesy and attentiveness of the interlocutor is of particular value. Warmth and benevolence help a person to open up, to show their best qualities... Rudeness, ignorance, rudeness insult human dignity, cause moral harm to the individual. Offended man withdraws into himself, stops contacting the offender. Japanese psychologists have long noticed that a polite person will always be safe, and a boor and rude person will surely get into trouble.


Nice behavior helps a person acquire new ones. useful contacts, to have many acquaintances, friends and friends. Parents, in order to teach their child etiquette, need to be patient themselves, not to pressure the child, not to shout. You can discuss the heroes of the books you have read, analyze their behavior.

Manners secular behavior prohibit any indecency. Always be polite when speaking.


School teaches courtesy

The school is called the second home. Here educational process is carried out in many ways, gradually and continuously. The school has its own tools for instilling cultural behavior in the student. Exists whole line activities that contribute to the formation of polite behavior, which include:

  • themed class hours;
  • trainings;
  • seminars;
  • games.

It is customary here to simulate situations. Schoolchildren play up the proposed plot: a queue in a store, a visit to a theater, an imaginary trip to public transport etc. Data interactive methods contribute to the development of sociability in children, mutual understanding, teach the norms of polite behavior in an interesting, creative way.


More about courtesy rules

You should know that the rules of etiquette have been formed over the centuries. The basic rules include a number of priorities that should be kept in mind, for example:

  • a man always greets first, opens the door, gives way to a lady;
  • the younger ones greet first, give way to places in transport, help those who are older;
  • healthy people let patients go to the doctor, give them way, places in public transport;
  • subordinates greet their boss first;
  • when making requests, you must say the word "please";
  • it is customary to say "thank you", "thank you" for the help or service provided;
  • if someone brings inconvenience, grief, trouble, you need to ask for forgiveness, apologize;
  • at an official reception, they first greet the owners, and then - according to seniority;
  • when you call, you must introduce yourself;
  • punctuality is hallmark polite, cultured person.

An episode in a supermarket was described: the cashier complimented the author's daughter for saying “thank you” when he handed her one of the goods. "It's rare to see good manners among customers," said the store employee, "and the parents themselves are often the most rude."

What was previously considered a sign of good manners began to lose importance. Being in public, we more and more often withdraw into ourselves and into electronic devices, not noticing what is happening around. Therefore, elderly people and pregnant women are traveling standing in minibuses, neighbors do not greet each other near the elevator, men do not hold doors in front of women, children interrupt adults without hesitation. Modern man acts for itself, therefore, first of all, it carries itself into this world.

Nowadays, adults often say: “We do not teach children to say hello or say“ thank you ”with the help of instructions. They will grow up - they will learn for themselves, what is the use of the phrase "say the magic word"? There is some truth in this: most likely, children will really learn to say "please" and "thank you" with the help of kindergarten teachers and school teachers... But how much easier it will be for them to communicate with others if the habit of smiling at a meeting, asking permission to take someone else's thing, apologizing when they hurt someone, from an early age will be the norm, and not tortured words that need to be pronounced, but do not want to.

It's great when a child uses a knife and fork at dinner, knows that he doesn't need to talk with his mouth full, and doesn't put his elbows on the table. But success in communicating with other people will most likely be determined not by dining etiquette, but by how the child behaves at a universal human level, how much his manners correspond to generally accepted ones, and how he himself fits into the environment.

Politeness is evidence that a child treats other people with sensitivity and respect. And here the boomerang law works: we treat another person the way he treats us. Therefore, a polite child in most cases will meet mutual good relations and out of fashion magic words will open different doors for him.

An apple from an apple tree: 8 helpful rules of courtesy

“Thank you” and “please” cannot be memorized like a multiplication table - brought to automatism, these words will not sound from the heart. Natural way instill in children good manners - to set an example for them by their own daily reactions. Our children look at us like in a mirror. We thank the girl who gave the flyer on the street - and the children will say “thank you” next time to the cashier who packed the Happy Meal box for them. We ask permission to see their drawings in the album, and children will not take their parent's phone without asking to take a picture of their craft. We apologize when we accidentally stepped on the baby's foot, and the child accidentally pushed a peer on playground, will apologize for the awkwardness. What useful things can adults teach children?

Greet. Most parents teach kids to wave and say goodbye, but the child will have to say hello no less often: with relatives, friends, neighbors, caregivers, salespeople. Train this useful skill with dolls and soft toys playing "guests", "shop", "hospital". At first, be the first to say hello in order to provoke the child to answer you. Say hello and smile to the janitor, cashier, doctors in the clinic, taxi driver. Teach the boys to shake hands when they meet - for them this is a ritual of special importance.

Say thank you. Children will be treated many times, give gifts, and fulfill their requests. Remind you that it is customary to say "thank you" for a kind gesture. Thank you yourself for the fact that the child brought his laundry to the wash, helped to disassemble the bag of groceries, and treated him to a chocolate bar. While he is small, he does not know how to speak or is ashamed of a guest who gave him balloon, each time say "thank you" for the baby, without reproaching him for being silent.

Saying please. In modern language this word is increasingly reduced to a text "pliz", and while it has not become archaism at all, let the first "please" come from the parents. Politely asking a child to pass a sugar bowl or bread, adults demonstrate correct shape requests. While playing in the sandpit, ask another toddler for an extra paddle. When buying ice cream in the park, say please at the beginning of your phrase. Hearing the polite form of address many times, the child will begin to use it in his vocabulary. And you, when you hear from the baby "please", hug and kiss him, it will give him good sign that he is doing everything right.

Say sorry. To make it easier for children to pronounce this not the easiest word in the world, be generous and with a light heart forgive them for their mistakes. Do not be afraid to apologize yourself if you understand that you undeservedly shouted or reacted too violently to a child's misconduct. So the child will understand that the word "sorry" - important step to reconciliation and building relationships with someone who has offended, as well as medicine for someone who inadvertently hurt.

Give in and help the weaker one. A family with a baby gives way at check-in at the airport, because it is more difficult for the little ones to wait. Give in to the girl, mother, grandmother. Give way to elders in transport, hold the door for another person. Children may not know what exactly needs to be done, but they love to help - whisper in their ear to help grandmother carry the bag of groceries to the refrigerator, cut off the first piece of cake for her. Gratitude from another person will definitely inspire the child.

Do not discuss others in public. What parent did not get into a situation when a child, when he first saw a person with a different skin color or appearance, pointed at him and asked loudly why his uncle had such a dark color face or no hair. Agree that if the child is interested in something about passers-by, he can ask his question quietly, without attracting the attention of others. Explain that it is not okay to talk out loud about the appearance of other people; it may be unpleasant for them. But always focus on how interesting it is when people look different.

Don't interrupt. One of the key aspects of the conversation is to let the other person finish the sentence before responding with your own line. It is important to adhere to this rule both with regard to dialogues with children, and expect mutual respect from them when you are busy or when talking with another adult. Think of a sign with which the baby can attract your attention: touch the elbow, wave his hand, gently squeeze his palm - so that you immediately understand that he wants to tell you something and can come up when you are free. When that moment comes, listen to the child's request with full attention.

Respect the rules of the other house. It is important to explain to the children that every place outside of your home is different rules behavior. They don’t shout or run in the theater and restaurant, but on the playground or in the play labyrinth, please. At home, you can talk in any voice you want, but in the clinic it is better to lower the tone. It is allowed to jump on the bed in your room, but when visiting, you can only do this if the owners themselves allowed.

What is all this for? It's no secret that children with good manners easier to adapt to kindergarten and school, to comply with the rules adopted in the collectives. With them, it is easy to go to guests and cafes, attend social events without the risk of constantly making sure that they do not spoil something and do not interfere with other people from having a rest. But with a polite child it is easier not only for others. First of all, he himself everywhere feels at ease, because he has a habit of thinking about the feelings of others and what he says. And this habit comes from parental home, in which the main thing is not the motto “do as I say”, but the example of adults - “do as I do”.
