Learning Basic Manners

Hello Everyone!

Mama has been teaching me about what she calls “basic manners.”

Mama calls “Please”, “Thank You” and “Excuse Me” the three magic phrases. She said that these are the most important words to learn so you can live your life in a polite and nice way.

Mama said that there are some other words that are important to learn. Here are some of the most important ones to remember:

–”You are welcome” is important to say when someone says to you “Thank You.”

–”No, thank you” is a better way of just saying “No” or some other words when you don’t like something or don’t want to do something.

–”Hi, how are you?” is always a friendly greeting when meeting someone. If someone asks this of you, then your reply would be “Fine, thanks. How are you?”

–”Can I…?” Mama says it is always nicer to ask than to demand something. (Mama said this is the proper way; not “May I…?”

Mama told me that we will continue to work and learn more about manners in the coming weeks. She said that it is very important to learn these important things when you are young.

Has your Mama and Dada started to teach you basic manners?
