Examples at home and school do a lot to make children courteous. Following actions are needed to inculcate polite behaviour in children. Here are some tips.

Teach children to speak gently and politely without raising the voice beyond requirement. Show enough love by word of mouth and action to make the children feel emotionally secure. Inculcate a sense of sharing and caring in children, whether it be with regard to their parents or personal possessions. Children should be encouraged to use words please ,thank you and sorry that are small keys that can open any heart. Good behaviour at parties and house visits involves the use of these courteous words in appropriate context.

Teach children the correct table and phone etiquette. Written words of appreciation and gratitude to the hosts are essential after being the guest of someone’s place. Guide teenagers with love, affection, understanding and tactful persuasion. Impress on children that showing hospitality does not include strangers in the absence of parents and not to open the doors to strangers when they are alone at home.

Upon doing some research on which bank is good to invest I also leaned that there are some banks that offers savings account for infants as young as one year old. You just need to present the child’s birth certificate if he’s not yet studying, a copy of your Identification Card, photo and the initial amount as your deposit. I think this is something good not just for parents but also for the children. In this way you can start teaching them to save money for their future.

The good thing also about this is that there are some bank like the one I opened with, they have a club for their young depositors which entitles the children for a discount card in some shops. It also comes with educational insurance. Plus they gave something like a wallet wherein some coins and currency does fits in. and you just need to present that one together with the passbook whenever you will deposit.
