4 Essential Aspects to Teach to Have Well-Mannered Kids

You’ve just seen a kid who is some kind of a trouble maker. He did wrong things and his manner is driving you crazy. Then, you look at your six month old baby, wondering if he would behave that badly.

You wouldn’t want to have such a naughty kid. That’s a good start. All you have to do is understand these four aspects that can help you raise a very well-mannered kid:

• Compassion

Start as little as possible to introduce him to this feeling of sympathy. If you watch something sad on TV, like hurricane victims or child losing parents or things like that, tell him that you need to help people who are sad. Or, if for example, you get hurt yourself, let him take part in the healing process by putting a bandage on the wound. Later on when he grows more, if a friend of his hurt another friend, you show him how sad that makes that other friend.

That way, you are building a feeling of empathy. There is a chance that he gets reluctant to hurt others for he knows that it might cause sadness.

• Culpability

Make sure your kid learns it. Let him feel guilty once in a while. For example, he hits you, show him how that hurts you. That way, he would feel guilty about it. Also teach him to apologize and really feel sorry for what he did.

Yet, don’t keep going on and on about his mistakes. If you do, you are not helping him to learn about guiltiness, instead, you make him feel such a big shame which does him no good.

• Self-respect

Make him feel proud of what he does. Encourage him to do something nice. If he can make it, never forget to compliment him. It is important to let him know that if he behaves well, then he will get a reward.

• Loss of face

Let him learn that if he acts bad, you feel embarrassed. For example, you are all invited to a dinner and he stands on the chair. Let him know that what he does humiliates you and him.

Children with these four alertness would unlikely behave improperly. Yet, don’t expect that they build all four before they are eight years old. But, afterwards, you will see the result better.
