I have three small children under age of 10. Have spent these years saying "what's the magic word?" And going "P P P p!??!" like a mad woman...and now my children are very good at saying please and thank you.
I had thought it was one of the basics of parenting. I've even made my nieces and nephews say it...
But now I notice that family friends don't make their children say it, and often they don't either.
Is it out of fashion? Has there been some sort of parenting memo I didn't get?
