Politeness is so important. When our daughter started daycare at age 2 and a half the adults came to me after a week and told me that all the other kids had started saying "thank you" and "please" after my daughter started. That made a mamma proud.
I still hear that about my daughter, and when they talk about how caring and positive she is it just warms my soul... but my son is a different story. Night and day over here, and the only thing they take turns with at home is mood swings. They can both be the sweetest, most polite little people, but the teachers think my girl is an angel and my boy is Dennis the Menace. Not sure what to do at this point, but I love the teamwork idea.
I remember in kindergarten my teacher was passing out papers once and I said "thank you." When each tiny 5 year old had a paper, my teacher called me over to her desk, praised me for saying "thank you" without being asked, and gave me a prize from the treasure chest. I saw that good behavior was rewarded and now being in 10th grade, it's second nature to say "thank you" when papers are passed out in class. The reward didn't cause me to expect it every time but rather proved to me that people are always paying attention and how to stand out in a good way.
No fist bumps or high fives? Uh... are they forgetting which generation we are in currently? 😂 Overall, I agree with the handshake though. It depends who it is, like your boss or meeting new people.
One thing with the interrupting is Presley was sort of correct. When I learned I was told that I can put my hand on my Mom's (or whoever I'm trying to get attention from's) shoulder, this way they will know that you want to talk to them but you aren't interrupting. Also for whoever is receiving the hand on their shoulder can place your hand over their hand so that they know that you heard that they want your attention. I am sorry if that was a confusing explanation. But thank you for your time
I think being kind is a lot more important then being polite in life, because I think that being too polite can come off as less relaxed and somewhat rigid sometimes. I think it’s good for kids to learn manners, however, it may be a little odd at school especially when they’re in middle or high school, if they act very polite and formal, it’s less natural feeling
Wrong. Society has become so sloppy that everyone accepts it. Everyone, keep your standards high, don't allow Society to hold you back like this comment I'm replying to.
On interruptions, I taught my daughter (currently 4 years old) to come hold my pinkie finger when she needs to talk to me and I'm preoccupied with another adult, even just talking with my husband. I squeeze her finger back and she knows I know, and I keep holding onto her pinkie. Whoever I'm talking to can usually tell she needs something, and a natural lull tends to happen pretty quickly so I'm able to address her. We've been doing this for about a year and she really does great with it!
I have a problem with teaching kids they should introduce themselves with a handshake. A) because kids are dirty and germ-y, and you don't know when the other person/ child washed their hands of coughed in them. But more importantly B) kids (and adults) with learning or behavioural difficulties are often uncomfortable with contact, so teaching kids it's 'impolite' to not shake hands stigmatises and isolates kids who don't like to touch. C) It's also teaching kids that they have to make contact or interact with strangers. It's like when parents to force their kids to 'go give X a big hug and kiss'. If a kid is uncomfortable doing that, you're forcing them to interact with people they don't know in a way they're not comfortable with. It might be hard to believe but kids are people too, with their own individual boundaries. A Better idea would be to teach kids to wave and say something polite, rather than force them to shake hands.
i agree completely!! i am still pretty young but i remember a while ago i was seeing my uncle, who i had only met maybe two times prior to this time, he was getting really close and trying to force me to hug him and kiss him. me, being maybe five years old at the time, hardly even remembered who he was and felt very uncomfortable. even now i am only thirteen years old but i am still really shy, around both family members and strangers. i have trouble keeping eye contact when talking to most people and i talk really quietly.
One thing I’ve seen for interruptions is taking mom’s hand so that mom has a physical reminder and will get to them as soon as there is a break in conversation.
my mom is also an etiquette teacher so growing up she always taught classes to my friends lol. at 16 now, i work in an ice cream shop and it's always so nice to hear when kids are very polite and have good manners. my boss likes to compliment them to encourage it haha
I’m a kid with allergies. A handshake is always the best option for me. Some kids eat things I’m allergic to and don’t wash their hands, and I have serious allergies. Meaning I can die from smelling them. So just remember that some kids won’t want a handshake and it’s not them being rude, it’s them being safe,
2019 and earlier: When you greet someone, shake hands. It shows how polite you are. 2020: Please DON'T shake your hands no matter what! It'll show how responsible you are 😉
When my daughter wants to talk to me while I am speaking to an adult or on the phone, she will hold my hand to let me know and I will put my hand on top of hers her to acknowledge that she needs to soak to me and that she needs to wait.
Interruptions when your kid comes up teach that when you put your hand on there shoulder it lets them know you are aware they are there. And when there’s a pause you will get to them 💜
Hi Elle! Its good to see Rachel again 👍 Presley & Ford are getting so big!? I cant grasp it! Hope you had a great Spring Break 😊🌻🌼🌻🌼 I 💖WUM! P.S. Im on the I Miss Laura Team 😔
Oh thank you wum for posting this vid ,I really wanted to teach my sister good manners , and I was puzzled to where to start sooo thank you u helped me ,love you guys
It's difficult for children who are shy to make friends. But with love they can change. And make friends it may be late but if they try it's possible. Awesome video.
Excellent! Thank you for making this video..🙏🇮🇳💖 My child is quite good with everything but there was one particular point which will help my child very much.. thank you🙏🇮🇳💖
What a lovely guest. Sometimes I catch my children behaving like little adults (fork and knife, sweet conversation) and it’s so rewarding. I think giving them opportunities to practice is key!
I think manners are so important!! I have drilled it in to my kiddos since they have been little. I think "please", "Thank you", "eye contact" is so important , it teaches kindness in a indirect way because when we show manners to others we are letting them know they matter.
Totally loved this!! So helpful and informative and can’t wait to show my little one the video tomorrow. She loves watching your kids do all the cooking and crafts! Thank you sooooo much for this one! ❤️
I don't think this is very good for kids this age they will learn as they grow and if there not comfortable doing things then it's not good to forse them Now I usually love this channel but not a fan of this content
I wish more parents new that manners taught politeness and not just assume “oh my child is 6, they don’t know better they will when they’re older.” 6 is old enough to know some manners and if you don’t teach them they will be disrespectful adults.
I am looking forward for another topic with etiquette and politeness at a guest's house for 9 to 12 years children... hope to have that video from you thank you🙏🇮🇳💖

Also, you know who your son is. A good teacher gives second and third chances. Hopefully that will be the case.
Aww that's so sweet !

OMG....... THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL MESSAGE
Hi Ford, nice to meet you!
My name is Ford.
OMG that cracked me up!
Drama Llama Queen Productions hahaha hahaha omg
“So who likes going on playdate?”
**everyone raises hand except Ford**
Me: Ford is the introvert we all were when we were little😂
I still am
I am still that introvert at age 8.
Not me
@@kachow12321 age 8 is still a kid
I didn’t notice that when I first watched thi video
Fun Fact:
A hand shake actually transmits the most germs out of shake,high five, & fist bump. A fist bump is the most sanitary
Kid Vid lol.... yes...lol we know now cause COVID19
You said the future..
That is why us Indians use namaste 🙏
Ella ikr!
Ella Torgersen she edited it
Ford is such a mood tho
Jen Rose though*
@@maryams3046 bro..
Drama Llama Queen Productions what!
THE UNIVERSE it supposed to be like that.. it’s a joke
@@maryams3046 its supposed to be like that. have you been living under a rock for your entire life?
No fist bumps or high fives? Uh... are they forgetting which generation we are in currently? 😂
Overall, I agree with the handshake though. It depends who it is, like your boss or meeting new people.
My daughter elbow pumps, cause to many kids sneeze into their hands
Namaste is the new trend dude
Exactly not every adult will think that a little kid like that will shake there hand. Most adults will give say high five not shake my hand
I seen a woman who looked like meg and I asked does she work with what’s up Mom’s and she said no but she watches you all the time
Kita Scott OoFf that’s SOOOOO embarrassing lol

I agree I was always a shy kid when I was younger and an introvert.

@@azlyn8517 same I used hide behind my mom with her work friends/relatives.
Yes completely agree!
yes, im a total introvert and i hate touching. so when my moms like " go give [x] a hug" i fake it because it's just uncomfortable.
Presley is so beautiful! She’s growing up so fast!😍
One thing I’ve seen for interruptions is taking mom’s hand so that mom has a physical reminder and will get to them as soon as there is a break in conversation.
Who else watches this channel and isn’t a mom? I do!

I know, Kaitlyn is so pretty
armyyyy
2:03 stares without calling out
My parents : giving me the death stare lol
(I love my parents this is just a funny thing I wanted to share
This is such a truthful video !! I love WUM!
a tip for eye contact. After your child meets someone new, you can ask them what colour their eyes are or something
I’m a kid with allergies. A handshake is always the best option for me. Some kids eat things I’m allergic to and don’t wash their hands, and I have serious allergies. Meaning I can die from smelling them. So just remember that some kids won’t want a handshake and it’s not them being rude, it’s them being safe,
I love how ford did not rise his hand when the lady asked if they loved when they had the play dates 😂😂😂😂😂
Her name is Rachel
Hi presley nice to meet you
*KEEPS SHAKING HAND UNTIL THE VIDEO IS DONE

OMG PRESLY IS GORGEOUS ❤️
To @Jackson Cravens . tru
Tru 😀
Grrr g hd
No
Never force a kid to greet people in a way they arent comfortable with
.-. They were not forced
@@alexismailey445 Just saying
Carol W Why say that? They weren’t forced into anything.
Carol W yeah, manners are important; I totally agree with that, however if they are shy it’s alright you can always help.
Because if you do that they will become more shy or feel like they aren't enough of something.
Interruptions when your kid comes up teach that when you put your hand on there shoulder it lets them know you are aware they are there. And when there’s a pause you will get to them 💜
I don't even have children, nor having any anytime soon, but I love your videos ❤️
More vids like this please-different topics even!
Ahhh I love this, Presley is so grown up now!
I love watching this kind of stuffs
Hi Elle! Its good to see Rachel again 👍 Presley & Ford are getting so big!? I cant grasp it!

I 💖WUM!
P.S. Im on the I Miss Laura Team 😔

Presley’s hair is so long and pretty 💕
I really appreciate how Ford is totally himself! Having a boy toddler almost little kiddo child myself, it’s nice to see that 😎
The end of the movie is the best 😁😅
Wait until they’re teens 😂😂😂
Lol
Excellent! Thank you for making this video..🙏🇮🇳💖 My child is quite good with everything but there was one particular point which will help my child very much..
thank you🙏🇮🇳💖
Hi Elle! Youre my favourite from WhatsUpMoms! Im so happy I met your channel.
I’m never first.........maybe 100’th
kennydo847 me to ❤️💜🧡🖤💛💚💙💖💟💓💞💗💘💝
I am not a mom but a love these videos ❤
When you're early and don't know what to comment except...
I LOVE WUM !!❤❤
This is such a great idea for a class activity (I’m a preschool teacher). 👍🏼
I tried to shake this girls hand and she’s like “ uhhhhhh I don’t do handshakes it’s unhygienic” and I’m like gurl I was just tryna be nice 😂
0:31 Presley already looks like she’s polite! She literally folds her legs and puts her hands in her lap like she’s a mature adult.
I love these videossss
I walked out of my room and didn’t realize my mom was on the phones so I said oops sorry lol😂😂
What a lovely guest. Sometimes I catch my children behaving like little adults (fork and knife, sweet conversation) and it’s so rewarding. I think giving them opportunities to practice is key!
Ahhh! Great video. Love them! These will help!
Adrien:hi ford I’m Adrien
Ford:I’m Ford
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love you guys ❣
Yallowww anyone love what's up mom's? Like if you do
These are good tips. Bit I don't agree with forcing children to shake hands or having contact with a person if they don't want to.
Haha I’m gonna use this for my future kids 😂😂👏🏻

No hand shake now 😂😂
Man I really love Ford
At 2:40 when she said today it sounds like bratayley intro when they say “today on bratayley”!!
Love your videos 😍❣️❣️
These videos really help 👍
Thanks for the video !!!
Presley has grown up to be so gorgeous omg💛 I love this family
This is a really good way to teach kids politeness . Thanks WUM it's really helpful 🙂
Ford is a WHOLE mood
Hi FORD nice to meet you i'm Aiden.
Hi my name is FORD
Rachel should totally do a ettiquete series right here in whatsupmoms
Saved this video...for *future* purposes...😁
I don't think this is very good for kids this age they will learn as they grow and if there not comfortable doing things then it's not good to forse them
Now I usually love this channel but not a fan of this content
Kids are our future world and all of us want a better world and that is possible if we raise our kids accordingly.
This is very good! I'm going to show this to my daughter.
Thanks for sharing ,I learn speaking English and American Culture too .
No one:
My black mama:
_GIRL ION NEED NO DAMN PARENTING VIDEO THE BELT IS IS MY VIDEO_
First impressions the first I met my best friends dad I jumped into his car in my pjs 😂
Love u guys 💖
Yay early love you guys I love this channel I'm expecting a little boy in August this channel is amazing.
Early :)? Tapped right away
wow ....
this is what I wanted
My parents always had me just put my hand on there arm until they stoped their conversation to see what I needed
I wish more parents new that manners taught politeness and not just assume “oh my child is 6, they don’t know better they will when they’re older.” 6 is old enough to know some manners and if you don’t teach them they will be disrespectful adults.
Amazing
Presley : hi how was your day
Ford : ????
Gonna use this in like 10 years lol, I want my kids to be well mannered
Lol my parents never let me dye my hayonky when I’m high school but the special guest daughter dyed her hair
politeness is important, but we also have to teach kids its ok they dont have to make body contact with everyone (more for like hugs and stuff)
That’s help full
Awesome!
I love seeing videos of the kids! They’re so cute!!!
I wasn’t taught good manners, and it went terrible when I was at a sleepover. I was sassy and interrupting my friends parents.
Love your videos so much even thought him still a kid
I am looking forward for another topic with etiquette and politeness at a guest's house for 9 to 12 years children... hope to have that video from you thank you🙏🇮🇳💖
This amazing for me
I don’t like handshakes cause my hands are quite sweaty :(
