Not always but the majority of the time they do as they see others do. These days parents are unwilling to discipline their kids. Stop trying to be a friend to your kids and step up to the plate and become a parent.
And yes proper manners is a thing of the past just look at the average adult on how they eat, elbows on the table etc...
At the same time adults treat kids/teens like crap in the community, why should kids treat adults with respect if they get none in return. I am not excusing teens with poor manners just maybe if we as adults can begin to set a better example.

I am just wondering, how long, the people who have answered this question, have actually been raising their families? I, myself, when younger, thought that it was "all" in the home. The parents must have "bad" manners or be this way or that; therefore, the children follow. I agree, to some degree this does happen, however, there are so many other outside influences. School in general, peers, the media, even teachers and "other adults" can contribute to this delima. I also believe it has to do with what stage a child is at certain developmental periods in their lives, absolutly, their learning abilities vs disabilities. To pass judgement, soley on the caregivers who are with these children, in the home environment,, would be an injustice to these individuals, that often times, do the very best they can, to say the very least. Other factors to consider... step moms and dads and their children, other relatives, etc... and the list goes on and on....

You start in the home with the family but I learned my child picks up things at school by watching other children with bad manners. So I would say it's 50/50.

Children don't actually learn bad manners, they simply learn what they can get away with. Some parents are just too damn lazy to put the effort in.

Yes they do, it is all a learned behavior, good or bad. Parents need to discipline thier children more, and set out rules instead of letting them run wild. If my kids ever said half the crap that I have heard other kids say to thier parents, I'm afraid that my kids would end up on the moon! & you know what I mean. My kids have even commented to me how badly a child is behaving when we see a child having a tantrum and the mom is doing nothing. What goes around comes around.

They only have bad manners because the parents don't stop the children once they start the bad behavior. They that it go on.

Yes!

It's up to Mom and Dad to show their children how to behave properly at the dinner table.

The children learn by example so if you have Mom and Dad hovering over their plate, leaning on the table and slopping food in their mouths...the children will think that this is acceptable and demonstrate this in public!

Patterns can be changed if the child/adult is willing to make the changes necessary to be polite in public.

Yes, Oh yes! Parents in general have become entirely too laxed when it comes to manners. I remember when I was a child, we had to have impeccable manners, or there was hell to pay! IE: Never speak out of turn, only when spoken to... Eat what's for dinner, or starve... ect.
Oh, and we could never ever ever run around a store screaming like wild monkeys, looking under women's dressing room doors, jumping out of clothing racks...
I could go on forever...

i haven't weighed in in this subject remember yet for a pair of motives (i've got ignored a number of them, and my daughter is barely 2). yet, i've got yet to spank her and that i do no longer plan on it. the two my husband and that i've got been by no ability spanked and we the two became out properly behaved (a minimum of we expect of so). What works for her (and he or she's 2): first of all, i'm by no ability very far far off from her. while she does some thing incorrect, I redirect. enable's no longer try this, enable's try this extremely. fairly undesirable habit - changed time outs (she's too youthful for the actual element nevertheless). yet while starts in with a tantrum I tell her i do no longer decide to be round her performing like that and that i walk away. i've got walked out the front door. She somewhat lots stops in the present day. I additionally am continuously arranged to bypass away circumstances that get undesirable - dinner out, paying for journeys, etc. She knows that if she starts performing up on the park or the mall, we can bypass away till she calms down. If that's the food market, we will might desire to bypass back. If that's the park, we can't. As she gets older, I do the comparable element my father and mom did which became extra of the above and removing privileges. That labored very properly for me. i'm no longer likely to make claims that those strategies will continuously artwork completely. yet because of the fact that there is many undemanding strategies to punish different than spanking, i'm fairly confident in mine and my husband's potential to maintain her risk-free and correctly behaved. She's fairly properly behaved now.

I think the first things a child learns if they learn it in the home and have trouble with it later on, that it is definitely true. I don't necessarily think it is true with things that are learned outside the home. If you are taught something the wrong way, it is very hard to correct it the longer you leave it.
