Saying Thank You to the kids

Here in the US, I see ppl saying thank you to their kids for doing every little thing they have been asked to do, and then the kids say you're welcome. Back home in India, do ppl say thank you to the kids?? what do u think about that? should the parents say thank you to their kids just for the sake of it or to make the kids realise that they have done something good, and they should also say thank you to their parents for the things they do for the kids??

Well its not just this, its for good mannerism too, we have to do all the time with the children at work, like wen u give them something u have to make sure they say plz and wen they get say thank u. So its just that the child learns manners towards others and stuff.

India mein to aisa hone se raha !😆😆

Thats why American kids are losers stuck in their childishness. Indian kids strive to grow up and achieve the status to boss people around.

and american kids say thank you to indian kids eventually, right? 😉😆

I feel that teaching some manners & courtsey to kids is a good thing & necessary too. We dont want a nation of ruffians do we?

yup !

actually more important than saying "thank you " to kids is to instil in them as to why they should say "thank you" . Just saying thank you all the time might actually make that a habit but they might never know why they are doing that ! It also doesn't solve the purpose !

some kids learn from the example more than from the advice

well.....its just not this.....i think the parent shud definitely thank their kids....if they thank there kids kids will feel good and they will feel that there parents respect them.....they will feel good.........
