I am the parent of an 11 year old daughter who is smart, well liked in school, etc. But no matter how much we remind her, ground her, take things from her, etc., it is like pulling teeth to get her to say hello, please and thank you to people - just basic, simple manners. I've seen questions here about teaching manners in school and my comment to that is 'if parents are banging their heads agains the wall trying to enforce manners, but other adults (i.e. teachers) aren't doing the same, how do they learn. Does anyone have any suggestions and/or tried & true methods?
