Right time to mould the kids

From the time they are born they are learning. I think that setting a good example and providing structure and discipline at an early age, is a good idea. I know that as early as one my daughter understood no. So, I say around 2 is when they really start grasping the concept and begin imitating you as a parent. I know my daughter used to play house and would pretend to be me so it is important to set a good example for kids at a very early stage in life!

Age 3 would be perfect time to mold our kids..because its the time when they start adapting to things..they learn whatever they hear or see...Its is required to be very careful to bring up a child in his early ages especially in the age of 3 to 6 or 7...

I believe it starts at birth. Kids pick up on what goes on around them even before they can verbalize. They learn by example. I get so appalled when I hear the way some youngsters talk. I've always taught my kids that please and thank you go a long way, as does a simple your welcome.

The best time to start teaching your children right from wrong and how to respect others is when they give you that look, the one they do just before they do something they know is going to be bad as they are pushing a boundry this can be as early as 13 months or late as 2 years, also manners saying ta when they first talk then please and thank you will help keep the child on the right track also never tolerate stealing at any age even under 1 if you catch them taking something say firmly thats not yours as you put it back. Just remember that there is no right time as such age wise and that every child is different - but the look I mentioned earlier is a good indicator in when to start molding - and dont stop even as adults kids will need guidence!

It is said that kids do most of their learning within the first 4-5 years of life. It is never too early to start. My daughter is 20 months and says please and thankyou, my son who is 3.5 and I have been doing manners and good and bad since her was pretty much born, is turning out to be such a well mannered lovely noy. He tells me if he likes vertains songs or music, has manners, ask for things properly saying "Mum may I have.....please". It seems consistancy in doing these things really pays off.
