3yo and manners!

[greenshoot19]

Hello

My 3yo girl is confident and has a lovely nature. But I'm suddenly starting to notice I am having to prompt her to say please and thank you A LOT. I don't know whether she's just got lazy or I'm noticing more, or maybe I'm expecting too much (but she is a very good communicator)? Every now and again she will say it voluntarily but it's really beginning to frustrate me as she doesn't seem to be getting better. Any tips??

Thanks :)

Just keep on with it. I have 3 DCs (8, 6 and 2.8) generally their manners are good, but they forge or get distracted. Dd2 remembers to respond "you're welcome" if you thank her, that is very cute.

If they don't say please, I don't hear them. If they don't say thank you, I don't let go.

Thanks mikkii perseverance it is then! as with most things with toddlers! :)
