Many moms out there want to know how to teach and train their kids to be respectful because most kids these days are really impolite, and I'm pretty sure that they got it from their environment, but how can we avoid this to happen to our kids? We don't want them to grow like that. Let's talk about some effective methods that can help you teach your kids to be respectful and there are some things that we should learn too.

Here are some tips on how to raise respectful children

1. Everything will start with yourself. Parents should also learn good manners and how to respect other people because we are our kid's first teacher, they will learn from us and they will copy what we are doing and what are we saying to other people.
2. Make sure that the surroundings are peaceful because environment is one of the big factors that mold us, especially the kids. Make sure to move your kid to a peaceful environment or just keep your child away from wilderness while he or she is still young, let him absorb good manner first.
3. Set house rules to follow and be consistent. Make sure that there are penalties for every mistake. Make sure that your kid will know the consequences if he or she did something wrong. Be consistent so that you kid will avoid making mistakes.
4. Learn how to say things that are pleasing to hear, as mentioned in number one, our kids will imitate us, so make sure to inform everyone in the house to be polite and use proper words. Also, make sure to teach them how to say please and thank you every time they are asking for something.
5. Show respect to your kids, if he or she is mad at you, you can let him calm down first then talk to him nicely and then discuss things. You must show him that you respect his or her feelings and you want to hear his or her opinion.
6. Praise your kids every time they show good behavior or if they are being polite and respectful. This would definitely brighten up their day because they know that you are proud of them and they are doing the right thing which decreases the chances of being impolite.

Raising kids can be difficult, but it is fun and it is nice to see your kids growing up being polite and respectful. Teaching kids how to be respectful is a long term commitment, so you will need tons of patience because you will guide them from birth until they grow up.
