I think if you are consistentabout having them use manners it's not as hard. But if you don't continue to keep it an everyday thing, when you go to a restaurant or somewhere you expect them to use manners at they are going to be harder to deal with and may act out more.
I definetly have the "mine" problem with my toddler. And other then whining when strangers talk to her b/c she has a shyness with them she is good. We constantly teach her the way to act to try and help with these two areas too. She def. says please and thank you.
I have three kids. My eldest is 5, middle is 4, and my youngest is 2. They all know their manners as far as please and thank you gose. When it comes to sharing, and hitting I have yet to convience them that this is not how people act. (But then I think to my self, this is exactly how the world acts). One more thing, if you are teaching your child not to hit or bite is it more appropriate to hit their hands and tell them no, or put them in time out for a little bit?
