Teaching Good Manners- A classroom example
Last month I focused on how to communicate with your child This week in May my focus will be on Virtues Education.
” A courteous and well-behaved child is truely a gem.”-Dominique
One of the biggest battle I face daily is dealing with disruptive and badly behaved kids. These few weeks the topic that I will be teaching in school is – Right or Wrong.
On Friday we approached this topic by getting the groups in class to watch the following classic movie on ” Mind your Manners”
After viewing the movie we had a short group activity. Each group was given 4 questions to answer.
- Who (in your opinion) is the best behaved student in class?
- Why do you like him/her?
- What did he/she do that makes you recommend him as the best behaved student?
I was surprised that the common points that all the groups raised were
- He/She was friendly and helpful
- Listens attentively to teacher in class and does his work
- Smiles and talks to me.
Apparently all of them agreed that a well behaved child is one that is likable by both her peers and teacher. He does his best in whatever he attempts in class and builds up relationships with everyone.

That sounds like a great lesson for kids. I hope they all strive to be a student that is likable by both students and teachers.
