Dear MrsManners:

How in the world do I teach my son that the things my grown up, 31 year old brother does in front of him -- name calling, hitting, etc. -- are wrong. Keeping him away from my brother is not an option. -- JasonsMom2007

Dear MrsManners:

My toddler ignores others when she's engrossed in something. Very rude. We always make her stop her activity to say bye to someone, hi, or just to listen to us. She still is not in the habit of listening to us in this way. Sometimes we have to remove her from whatever her attention is on (often the TV) so that she will pay attention. Even some adults I know ignore people when they're engrossed in TV. What's the best way to break a toddler of this habit? And no, we probably won't stop letting her watch television, LOL! -- mommy2028

Dear MrsManners:

I'd love to know how to deal with manners situations involving other people's children. I have several friends who interact with their children very differently from the way I do with mine, and I always wonder where to draw the line (especially when I'm alone with their children!). -- tyheamma

MrsManners says:

We all have our own unique way of parenting. It is what makes society so fascinating. If we all did everything the same way, we'd be pumping out the same kids everywhere, right?

I want my toddler as polite as possible, but how far should we push them to use manners? For example, I try to make my son say "please" when he wants food or a drink. But I feel like if I hold out too long, it can cause an unnecessary tantrum because he is just learning. At the same time, I don't want him to learn that if he holds his own, mommy will give in. -- chillemi78

Dear MrsManners:

My 14 month old daughter is obsessed with taking food from other kids. If she doesn't get any, or they refuse to give her any, she throws a mini tantrum. At Mommy and Me classes, she always crawls or walks around and sees what everyone else has for snack. When I go to fetch her back, she screams, falls to the floor, and stiffens her body so I cant pick her up. She also likes to root through other mommys' bags.

How can I teach her that taking food from other people is bad? And how can I stop the falling on the floor bit?

Dear MrsManners:

My three and a have year old son's language is getting out of hand. He's not only using dirty words but bad language, i.e: he told my husband the other night "I don't love you anymore, I wish you would go, away and my mommy will take care of me."

This hurt my husbands feeling's horribly, even though he knows our son is just three. He also tells me, "You may be the boss of me, but you are not my mommy," or "You are not the boss of me."  We do give time outs and consequences, but it's not doing much good. Do you have any suggestions on what we might try? -- choconut08

Dear MrsManners:

My 4 year old daughter was awarded the best "Clean Up Helper" at preschool, but she won't pick up her toys at home and her 3 year old brother is even worse.

I've given time-outs, taken away TV time, bagged  toys and stowed them away. I've even thrown out many of the old beat-up ones. I've tried making it a game to music and getting on the floor and helping them. My 1 year old is a bigger help than these two!
