Teaching good Manners

Good manners are a very important key to your child's social success, but they are born with good qualities and it's the parents job to enhance it. Teaching them good manners is the Parents responsibilities.

Beyond teaching "please" and "thank you" many parents aren't sure how to teach their child good manners. Teaching a child what behavior is expected is a daily process, and you'll have many opportunities each day to nudge your child in the right direction. Keep these points in mind:

Teach, don't reprimand.

Its easy to assume that your child is purposely using bad manners, when in fact, he just needs a lesson or two. Be specific when you teach your child, and remember that many follow-up lessons will be necessary. So instead of saying, "You didn't say Bismillah!" you can respond this way, "It's not good to eat without saying Bismillah first to, but if you don't, it's proper to say 'bismillahi fee awlahu wa akhirahu'."In the name of Allah in the beginning and it's end


Rephrase.

When your child states her feelings in a less-than-polite way, you can rephrase what she's already said in the way you find acceptable. So if she says, "Yuck! I hate this green stuff." You can politely correct her by saying, "What I'd like to hear you say is, I'm not use to eating spinach'. "Remember the Prophet never make a bad comment about food if he didn't care for it he would leave it.


Tell what you DO want.

When your child is displaying bad manners avoid nagging about the problem, "Don't yell in the house!" Instead, teach what you DO want "Please use a quiet voice." This method will keep you more calm and in control, and will give your child an instruction to follow.


Accept mistakes.

When kids are young they will spill and drop. It takes time to acquire the motor skills necessary to be neat and tidy. Children will make social blunders. It takes maturity to learn how to act in social situations. Accept age appropriate mistakes for what they are: simple childishness Mercy and Forgiveness is part of the character of the Muslims.


Correct privately.

As annoying as your child's lack of manners may be, resist the urge to reprimand him in front of other people. Making a scene as you attempt to teach your child proper manners, is, well, bad manners!


Prepare in advance.

Whether you are planning a visit to a friend's home, a night out to dinner at a restaurant, take time before you go to coach your child on the behavior you expect. Review the "rules" of good manners and hopefully Insha Allah you'll more likely experience a pleasant time Give reward if they behave the way you wanted them to.


Expect good manners.

When you know your child has learned the proper way to behave its important to expect those good manners. For example, if you've reminded your six-year-old to say 'please', 'thank-you', "smile when giving salaams", eating with his right hand', his du'as for eating, sleeping, going to the bathroom and out side of the house"  since he was two, you should expect him to apply what he's learned. Be consistent. Require good manners every day. Remind gently, be patience. And over time Insha Allah you'll find your children turning into proper Muslims man and women.
