Its important for us as parents to teach good habits to our children. Today's Genx is exposed to lot of media and internet , so it becomes that more essential for us to be responsible and vigilant. When kids are of 2 to 5 yrs age, they learn faster than any other age . So grab the opportunity and teach good hygiene, cleanliness, and to showcase respect to everyone

Parents can teach good manners to kids only if they model the role behaviour. Kids learn better by observing and when they see their parents whom they regard as their role model, doing something good, they are sure to follow. Using positive words encourage kids to learn good manners and habits. If kids are criticized, then they lose the enthusiasm and will not learn good manners. Family time is a great teacher. When kids spend more time with the family, they learn values and manners easily by sheer observation. They learn how to behave in front of others.
