Please and Thank You

Welcome to the "Good Manners Handbook for Girls and Boys"! Here, you will discover how two simple words, "please" and "thank you,"
can make life more pleasant.

Saying "please" when you need something shows kindness. Imagine borrowing a pencil: "May I have the pencil, please?" You'll see how
this word makes things more pleasant.

When someone does something for you, express your gratitude with a "thank you." For example, if they pass you a book, say, "Thank you
for helping me with the book!"

Remember, these two words are like little flashes of politeness—ready to help you discover the magic of kindness!

Table Manners

Ready to dive into good table manners! Did you know that the way we eat says a lot about us? Here are a few tips:

First, chew with your mouth closed. Not only is this more polite, but it also makes sharing the table more enjoyable for everyone. Imagine if
everyone chewed with their mouths open; it would be chaos!

Second, use silverware correctly. The fork goes in the left hand, and the knife in the right. Sounds simple, doesn't it? But it's a polite way to
enjoy your meals.

Respect for Others

Let's move on to the third chapter on respecting others! This is fundamental for building positive relationships.

Here are some tips:

First, listen to others. When someone is speaking, pay attention and wait for your turn to speak. Interrupting is not polite, and everyone
deserves to be heard.

Second, respect personal space. Before borrowing something, ask for permission. Imagine how you would feel if someone took your things
without asking.

Remember, respect is the foundation of good relationships.

Chapter 4
 Personal Hygiene

Get ready to discuss the importance of keeping clean and tidy! Here are some tips:

Firstly, wash your hands. Before eating and after using the bathroom, always ensure you thoroughly wash your hands. It's an excellent way
to stay healthy and demonstrate respect for both ourselves and others.

Secondly, maintain clean clothes. Change your underwear daily and ensure your clothes are presentable. Good personal hygiene not only
makes us feel good but also leaves a positive impression on others.

Remember, taking care of yourself is a sign of respect and consideration.

Final Chapter
 Behavior in Public

We've reached the final chapter on how to behave in public! Here are some tips on how to shine on any occasion:

First, be kind to everyone. Greet with a hello and a smile, creating a pleasant atmosphere. Everyone appreciates someone who is polite and
respectful.

Second, refrain from interrupting adults. Wait for your turn to speak and demonstrate patience. This reflects maturity and courtesy.

Remember, your behavior in public speaks volumes about you. Being polite and respectful will not only make you feel good about yourself
but also make others enjoy your company.

Congratulations on learning about good manners!
