Question

Teaching good manners（禮儀）to kids is very important . It’s best to let them develop good table manners when they are young. So they can carry these when they grow up.

Good eating manners begin with good table manners. Tell your kids that dinner time is family time. There should be no phones or text messages at the table. Instead, mealtime should be used for talking about family things.

Kids should say “please “ and “thank you” when asking for things on the table. They should not reach over other people to get things that they want.

Teach your child not to eat with his mouth open or talk with his mouth full. If it’s hard for them to understand, try showing them how it looks and sounds . When they see this, they’ll understand how they look to other people. They should also eat slowly and take small bites（咬）.
