✨ Manners are more than “being polite.” They are small, everyday ways children learn respect, empathy, responsibility, and consideration for others.

💛 From saying please, to including others, apologizing when they’re wrong, and putting devices away during conversations—these skills don’t develop from lectures alone. They are learned through repetition, modelling, coaching, and gentle reminders over time.

👀 Children are always watching how we treat people, how we respond when we make mistakes, and how we show care in the little moments.
