Children who are polite, helpful, cooperative and know how to control themselves are a pleasure to be around. Teaching their children to be well behaved is a goal for every parent, but it can sometimes be difficult to know what techniques will work best. Here are a few tips on how to reinforce good behavior in children.

Start young. Even toddlers understand the difference between your facial expression and tone of voice when you are pleased and when you are displeased. Be emotionally open with your children, right from the start. Reward your little one with lots of big smiles and hugs.
Build a base. During their first years, children want very much to please their parents. Take full advantage of that time to build a base of good behavior. Although it takes additional time to talk to and teach young children how to care for their belongings, be polite and respectful, help with basic chores and think of other people's feelings, that time is well spent. Your reward will be children who, as they approach their "tween" and teen years, respect your authority and know how to behave.
Expect the best. Let your children know that you think that they are good, capable people and they will be. Children believe what the adults in their lives tell them, so it is important not to berate or belittle them.
Be a guide. Your children will not automatically know what you expect from them, so you must tell them. Ask your toddler to help you pick up toys and allow him to fold washcloths as you do laundry. Encourage your school-aged child to help rake leaves and give the dog a bath. Make schoolwork a priority and provide them with a space and necessary supplies to complete their homework.
