 First of all, what is Good Manners?

To have good manners means:

Walking behind other people and not in front

Letting them go first

Sharing, being kind

Attitude

Controlling your attitude can sometimes be a struggle. There are two types of attitudes and only one is respectful. Being positive can include:

Having a smile on your face

Don’t talking back to the teachers

Thinking the right thing

Influencing others to do the right thing

Help others

Use appropriate language

Make others feel better

Your attitude can affect others and influence others to act like you. But when you influence, there are consequences. Consequences are the result of what you do. For example: You could help a lady cross the road and she might reward you with money as a reward OR if you steal from the shops, then you’ll get a ride with the cops.
