Whether you are teaching an elementary Spanish class or passing on Spanish to your children, it is important to teach children good manners. And there are culturally appropriate（恰当的）behaviors that children need to know.

These five behaviors are considered good manners throughout Latin America. Of course, these are good manners in the U.S. too. But they are not given as much attention because the opposite behavior is not considered particularly rude. In Spanish-speaking countries, however, the opposite behavior is negative（负面的）and can change the impression people have of children（and adults）.

All of these good manners can be practiced by children with different language levels.

Good manners to teach kids learning Spanish.

1.When you hand something to someone, put it directly into her hand. Do not toss things at people.

2. Keep your feet on the floor. Do not put your feet on chairs.

3.When you move away from a group of people or leave a room, say Con permiso. Do not just walk away.

4. If someone sneezes, say Salud, which means "take care" in English.

5.When you arrive, greet everyone. When you leave, say goodbye to everyone.

There are lots of resources（资源）for teaching children good manners in Spanish. Many polite behaviors also involve language. Here you will find resources for teaching polite expressions, including books and a song. There are also You Tube videos that teach polite behaviors.

In my experience, kids are interested in what is considered polite behaviors in different cultures, and they want to learn to act appropriately. We work hard to teach them to use Spanish. It is important that they also know how to interact（互动，相互交流）so that others are comfortable and they can make the most of the language they have learned.
