I'm obsessed with teaching Coleman to say please and thank you. Also Yes. Not Yeah, or Yep. He has a little lisp - Would you like some more broccoli Coleman? Yessssssss! Too damn cute.
It's an easy thing to forget. We're constantly handing our children stuff - juice, snacks, toys. I see children all the time just snatch things from their parents and run. Then when you hand their child something and the child doesn't say thank you, the parent is always a little embarassed. "You know how to say thank you." They may know it, but it's not required of them, so why should he say it now. I make sure Roz and I say it to each other so he sees it's not just something he has to do.
It's important to me. Thank you.
