Answer 1

Your child must see you and the rest of the family setting the etiquette and good manners standards, be it at the dinner table, greeting people or answering the phone, in fact, with anything and everything you do. Remember you are never alone, the little eyes are watching your every move! How else do children learn? They mimic the way you sit at the dinner table, the way you eat, the way you walk, the way you talk, in fact they mimic everything you do. They spend their early formative years almost exclusively with you, then they go to pre-school and realize there are other ways of doing things and other people to watch and mimic. Notice how up until then your child rushed to wash his hands before sitting at the table to eat? In fact he loved the idea of splashing in the water and mimicking what dad did.Perhaps take an opportunity such as this to explain why one washes their hands before a meal. Explain that all the germs from everyday living is clinging to the little fingers and fingernails.

After the meal...
Children are at most times messy eaters, using their little fingers to assist shovelling the food into their mouths, let them go off and wash their hands again after the meal. Nobody wants messy finger prints on their walls and furniture! Even if you don't mind cleaning up after them, think of the times they are a guest in the home of someone else.If the parent doesn't follow through with this small but important rule (in your home) feel free to tell the little ones to clean up - after all it's your home and you like to keep it clean.Maybe, so as not to offend anyone, make a game of it and show the little ones on a clean piece of white paper how they can see their fingerprints ... one doesn't have to be a strict teacher (smile).Well now at school he has noticed his friend Peter never, ever washes his hands before eating, and so he argues why should he have to wash his hands?All of sudden your child's table manners have gone to pot! He has begun to burp, slurp and try to outdo his older siblings and friends with the grossest behavior one could ever imagine. His manners are shocking, most of his showing off is normally done at the dinner table for maximum effect.
Relax mum, this is quite normal and sometimes even humorous. But unfortunately for your child, now is the time for you to hit him on the head with the imaginary blue book of 'Table Manners for Children,' - only kidding! it's now time for you, the parents to set boundaries and to reinforce good behavior, ignore the bad behavior and bad manners, and keep setting the good manners example - you have to practice what you preach.
