Teaching children to hold the door for someone, pull out a chair for a friend, or let someone else go first all add up to making a child a polite person. Our 3 young sons always rushed to hold my chair when we went out to a restaurant. They learned by example from their father. It is a very kind and respectful gesture that, if practiced, will become second nature that they will use their lifetime.
It is so easy to teach kids to hold a door for a woman, mother, grandmother or even their friend. Teach to always cross behind the person so that they can easily reach the door without having to push in front of the person they are helping. Grandmothers are especially grateful and proud of children that have good manners.
Be sure to practice even at home so that the small gestures will add up to making thoughtful young people.
