MANNER TIPS
Here are some tips which are essential to developing good manners:
1. Start with basic
The first step to having a mannerly child is being a mannerly parent. Then make up your child’s mind for good behavior. It is unrealistic for your child to just pick up the habit of good manners by telepathy. Make some rules and follow by yourself then teach a toddler how to follow them.
2. Be a role model
Around the 18-month mark, a child begins to understand that other people have feelings just like his, so this is the time to start teaching kids that their behavior affects others. Practice making child informal to accept basic good manners. Teach good manners is a game it depends on the child to child. Parents always the role model of their children.
3. Use gestures and expression
To teach good manners in toddlers first we have to observe them which language and gesture without any doughty they retain them. Using the right type of expression is so important when toddlers don’t listen. To stop them from doing wrong with eye gestures next time to repeat it your child will understand what you want from him or her.

Make magic words for your toddler to teach good manners on the table or in any social gathering how to greet someone. At a very early age start these habits make a child comfortable accepting such things.

FACTORS
The factors which produce good manners are Good manners only. Well, you may laugh at this but this is exactly the only answer for this. The characterization of Good manners is found in good books. The books have a large elaboration of what Manners can be and how it can be enacted. So, to learn good manners, you may learn it from books.
But, Is this True? According to me, this is not. The answer is simple! A Man or a Woman can’t learn good manners unless or until they do it or prove it by their behaviors.
Good manners are learned first at Home, then in School, and then in the Society in which they live. And most importantly, a child who learns it in his or her childhood will live on that till his or her life. A good mannered Man draws the attention of all whereas a bad-mannered person is avoided by all.
In my viewpoint, “Good manner” really doesn’t have any definition! It is that magical understanding which can only be felt and cannot be seen. Sonite Kumar Goswami
