Inspiration for Kids: Educators Podcast
Episode Overview
In this episode, I talk about the power of teaching children good manners. Good manners are more than just polite words—they are essential tools that help children build positive relationships, develop respect for others, and gain confidence in social situations.
I explain why teaching manners early supports both personal and social growth. When children learn to communicate respectfully and thoughtfully, they feel more comfortable interacting with others and create a welcoming environment around them.

Try These Activities
Here are three practical ways to encourage good manners with children:
1. Role-Playing Polite Interactions
Practice common social situations like greeting others, saying “please” and “thank you,” or sharing toys. Role-playing helps children understand when and how to use good manners.
2. Manners Reminder Chart
Create a colorful chart with simple manners reminders (e.g., “Use kind words,” “Listen when others speak”). Review it regularly with children to reinforce positive habits.
3. Positive Reinforcement
Notice and praise polite behavior when you see it. Positive feedback encourages children to keep practicing good manners naturally.
