I will have to say that they are very good about yes ma'm, yes sir, etc. Their parents are pretty strict about this. I think it makes me prouder of the parents than the kiddos when I hear it. Of course, they do forget sometimes--especially when the parents are not around.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00786346945686811675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568318030915787600.post-70396366027307557762008-11-23T09:13:00.000-06:002008-11-23T09:13:00.000-06:00THose precious grandchildren.

We are in the process of trying to teach our three-year-old granddaughter Avery to say "Yes Ma'am" and "Yes Sir," and when repetition didn't work, I came up with the idea of giving her an M&M every time she remembered on her own to say "Ma'am" or "Sir." We just started this today, and she was rewarded with two or three M&Ms, which is better than nothing, I guess. This is also the child who said she wasn't going to eat any spaghetti for supper tonight and literally cleaned her plate. <BR/><BR/>She's our little Miss Sunshine, though, even though she has us pulling our hair out sometimes ... lolSouthern Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13451320470435065945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568318030915787600.post-13658498837472565572008-11-22T19:46:00.000-06:002008-11-22T19:46:00.000-06:00We did a little experiment especially with our old...We did a little experiment especially with our oldest. We decided to find other ways of saying "no" to them early on, to avoid them parroting it back to us. I'd say that to a large extent it works. We were amazed at how many times we heard parents say, "No no no nonono!" to their little ones. We probably would have too, had we not been intentional. It was a little harder with the second one for some reason. Anyway, the bigger problem is that they ignore us and don't respond at all! ;-)<BR/><BR/>You wouldn't believe the sweet little something that came in my mailbox today, Marlene!
