This type of sweater is on my bueckt list, even if I do live in Texas and would wear it once every three years.As the mother of a very outgoing but (if I may say so) well-behaved three-year-old, I will say that the key to her learning good manners and conduct seems to be her father and I demonstrating those good manners with her. Please and thank you were some of the first words she used regularly because they are words we use with her many times a day. "N, please put this on the table." "Thank you!" We also have regular conversations about what is polite and not polite. I always praise her when she exhibits good manners and if she doesn't, we discuss that calmly, without yelling. I see some parents that seem to be afraid or embarrassed to correct or prompt their small children in public and it saddens me. If we don't explicitly tell them at an early age how to behave and show them through example, how are they to know?
