Manners
(Episode 7)
Try it at home!
At home …
-
Review good manners with your child. Demonstrate these same good
manners in daily life as an example.
-
Start a good manner sticker chart. Each time your child
demonstrates good manners (helping around the house,
saying “please” and “thank you”), reward him or her with
a sticker for the chart. When the chart is full, reward
your child with a special treat (family game night, a
special day at the park, etc.)
In the kitchen …
Have your child help you make happy faces. When asking for different
ingredients, be sure to say “please” and “thank you.”
-
What you’ll need:
Rice cakes
Peanut butter
Raisins
Spread peanut butter on each rice
cake. Let your child make happy faces using the raisins for the eyes,
nose and mouth. Share your smiles with each other.
Around town …
-
Point out the good manners of others when you see them being
demonstrated.
-
Draw pictures and give them to residents at a local
nursing home.
At the library …
While reading, ask your child if he or she can guess
what will happen on the next page. If you are reading a picture book,
ask your child to explain what the pictures mean. After the reading the
book, have your child retell the story in his or her own words.
