When your children are learning to speak, it can come out and grunts, screams, or yells.
This can make it hard to understand them. To help them through this tough
time, start by getting on their level. Look them in the eyes and reassure
them that it is okay to get frustrated. Then ask them to use their words
with please, thank you, and excuse me. These three basic phrases set a
foundation for the language you will share between you and your child. Just
remember… Repeat, repeat, repeat. Stay with their consistent
repetition. You might grow tired of it, but to your two-year-old, it’s
the routine they need to develop.
Politeness is spoken worldwide and in every language, whether in public or
private. The simplicity of kindness teaches that everyone matters in this
world. These three children’s books (“Please, Thank You and Excuse
Me,” “Listen, Share, and Be Nice,” and “Animal
Etiquette for Kids”) are lighthearted and geared for all ages.
Mannerisms must start somewhere, so why not parents, grandparents, teachers,
friends, and caregivers show our children mutual respect for all people,
places, and things?
This series of children’s books is a fun way to re-introduce manners into
your children’s lives. It’s cool to be polite and kind to everyone.

Mental Health Resources for those in the USA – In light of the recent election, we want to put out a message that LGBTQIA+ and minorities are always welcome here. We may post promos in conjunction with tour companies that spout worldviews we don’t always agree with, but we do our best to avoid any openly phobic posts, and should you notice any, we’d appreciate you contacting us with this form to let us know.
