D. Batchelor THREE YEAR OLD MANNERS By Alice Judson Peale Why should we not insist on man- ners for the three-year-old? FEvent- ually each child must learn 1o sa s “Please,” “Excuse me,” “Thank you” Since good manners are a necessary part of his social equip- ment through life, it would seem wise to make them automatic as soon as possible, I'roper habits of ecating and sleeping are taught early with good results, and many parents put manners in the same category. Charming as is the well mannered tot, experience has led me to believe that good manners in a young child always are acquired at too high a price, (iood eating and slecping habits are of paramount importance in the growth and physical well be- ing of the child and they are there- fore worth the training required 1o make them automalic. Moreover, they may be taught at certain fixed periols in the day's routine and never.need interfcre with his work and play. But manners have nothing o dn with the child’s health, nor can their teaching be limited 10 certain re- cted times. 1f we undertake to make the three-year-old polite we must do $o0 at the cost of interfe seriously with his play activities, .agging him when he needs his un- aivided energies for really impor inatters, Furthermore, when one ing such fundamentals snatch, to wait one's turp to strike the person who | wishes, polite forms can h meaning. If the young child learns some- thing of the friendly spirit of social intercourse, of considerateness, of simple fairness, he hus established the nucleus of thought and feeling which® later on will express itself in good manners.
