Teaching kids good manners is very important. It's best to do it when they are young. Good eating manners begin. with good table manners. Tell your kids that dinner time is family time.
There should be no phones or text messages (信息) at the table. They can talk about family things.
Kids should say "please" and "thank you" when asking for food on the table. They should not reach over (越过) other people to get food.
Teach your kids not to eat with their mouths open or talk with their mouths full. If it's hard, for them to understand, show them how it looks and sounds.
When they see this, they'll understand.
They should also eat slowly and take small bites (咬).
Washing hands is important to health. When eating at a friend's house, tell your kids to thank the host. Let them put their own dishes in. the sink (水槽) after dinner. For elder children, they can help do the dishes.
