Should I wait to teach manners to my kids until they are older and can reason?

There is no specific age at which good manners should be taught. Parents can begin early on with small gestures such as holding doors and saying please and thank you, as well as social skills training. As your children get older and are able to reason and understand more complex concepts, you can expand your manners lessons to include topics such as empathy and respect. In general, it’s important to focus on modeling proper behavior and teaching good manners to your children at every age.
