What age to do you teach your child "Please" & "Thank You"


Etiquette Tip: At what age do you teach your child to say “please” and “thank you”

Parents can gently encourage their child to say "please" and "thank you" as soon as he or she begins to talk. It is going to take some coaxing on the parent’s part.

When your child wants something you can say, “Please” and when your child hands you something, you simply say, "Thank you". Your child will learn to repeat after you, and eventually use the word at the appropriate times. 

At the age of two, a parent can ask their child to repeat requests with "please" as the preface. When they say, "juice" you can repeat, back "Juice, please." Be consistent about asking for a "please" before you give your child what they want and try not to insist to the point that it becomes a battle.
