Manners

Social Studies

• The child has learned about the importance of saying please and thank you in social interactions.
• They have also learned about the concept of sharing and taking turns during playtime.
• The child has learned about the importance of greeting others with a smile and a hello.
• They have learned about showing respect by listening when others are speaking.

Continued development can be encouraged by incorporating role-playing activities where the child can practice using their manners in different social scenarios. This can be done through pretend play with dolls or action figures, where the child can act out polite interactions and practice using phrases such as "excuse me" and "I'm sorry". Another idea is to create a manners chart where the child can earn stickers or rewards for displaying good manners throughout the day.
