excellent! All the words I teach my children every single day (we homeschool, but that’s beside the point).
Two of my four were at a friends house all day yesterday, (they have three of their own), and when I picked up the girls in the evening, the parents / Grandparents told me my kids can come back ANY TIME, since they hope and pray their good manners will rub off on THEIR kids. The girls said all day the grownups kept referring to their “good manners” (simple please & thank you, may-i-be-excused from the table, etc.) and the girls didn’t understand what the big deal was? To them, that’s what everyone does (or should do)....
My girls are 13 and 10...btw..
