my 1 1/2 year has learnt too many manners?

Question

my daughter whose just 1 1/2 has learnt too many manners whenver she sneezes she'll say excuse me, or if i sneeze she'll come to check whether i say it or not then she'll say mumma "god bless you". her thank you and sorries just keep on n on but the most embarrassing one is when we go out she'll start correcting or pinpoint people when they forget their manners people say its very cute but i find it embarrasing what if someone someday does'nt like it? she's too particular and a great observer i just don't understand what and how to tell her not to do this .

Answer 1

Don't tell her NOT to do this. Feel blessed that you've managed to teach her good manners. The only people that may get offended by her correcting them are people whose manners are not good and they know they are not good. DO NOT TELL HER NOT TO HAVE MANNERS. I don't understand why this embarrasses you, most parents would be proud. Be sure to teach her how to spell correctly and not pronouce words "learnt" when it should be "learned". Best of luck!

Answer 2

She'll tone down the way that it comes across someday. Since she likes and understands manners, let her know that it's not always good manners to correct a stranger's behavior. She just needs your guidance.

Gifted kids are often dramatic and a little sensitive, often are either way too withdrawn or way too outgoing, are often frustrated by other people's mistakes (like correcting strangers), can be much more stubborn, sometimes seem manipulative, and understand adult ideas pretty early. Your daughter might be gifted. Keep an eye out and have her tested around 3 or 4. You're a lucky Mom either way. Most Moms have the opposite problem!

Answer 3

and this is bothering you why? i think its wonderful that your child has manners. SO many now days are so rude even at the toddler age. People should be understanding of a toddler and not be offended and if they are so what, they cant sue you or anything. My daughter is 21 months and i love it when she says please and thank you. Today she said excuse me for the first time. Every child should learn manners like this.

Answer 4

Well hey, if she likes the manners, then you dont have to worry about a thing because you shouldnt care about what other people think. Yes it may seem a little embarrassing but inside of her, all she is trying to do is make the world a kinder place.

Answer 5

Let her know that you are proud of her when she says things like "Please and Thank you." Gently explain that correcting other people's bad manners is actually bad manners itself--it's not nice to point out other people's faults. Since manners seem to be so important to her, I think she'll get it right away.
God bless!

Answer 6

Maybe she'll teach some other people those manners. Good for her. She be a great leader when she grows up.

Answer 7

Please don't be embarrassed of your too adorable little girl! She just might teach some of these adults a few manners.
She sounds like a real sweetie, and how can people be mad at a baby for teaching them manners that they should already know.

Answer 8

It's FANTASTIC that she does this!
The honesty of children is what this world needs- maybe other people will start using their manners more due to your daughter- that's never a bad thing.
Be proud!

Answer 9

People never have too many manners...

She's a baby. She will learn the correct way in time.

Answer 10

my daughter started out at the same age as yours with her manners. honestly there arent many toddlers that i've met that say please, thank you, excuse me, ect. be glad your daughter does. everyone compliments my husband and i for having a well mannered daughter. (shes 2 1/2 now)
