Teaching good manners should be part of the everyday training of a happy, well-adjusted child. By the time a child is ready to go to school, he should know how to greet people of all ages pleasantly without self-consciousness. fie should say "thank you" and "pardon me" at the right times, and say them naturally. No public show-off. The well-mannered child always will avoid loud talking and show-off capers in public.
