Good Manners
What are Good Manners?
Courtesy, politeness or having good
manners are all about respecting others and
yourself.
How would you feel if someone:
talked to your friend but
turned his/her back on you?
Or if someone…
pushed you out of the way to get
the seat you were about to
sit on?
Or if someone…
let the door slam in your face as you
were about to walk through
it?
Or if someone…
shared your things but
never shared anything of
theirs?
Or if someone…
never said 'please’,
‘excuse me’, or 'thank
you‘?
Good manners is about considering the feelings of
other people, and being the kind of person that others will
like and respect.

everywhere you go…
then you are more likely to encourage others to behave in
the same way towards you.
