There are no hard and fast rule. You can only teach them what you know. If you are good at being respectful of others, you show by action. They will pick it up.
In some cultures, some relations are never called by their name. Children pick that up. In some others, they never know the birthday of their parents or their first names. They grow up that way - and in their late teens they find out what their names are because they have always called them in their language, ma and pa.They never celebrated birthdays. Sounds interesting?
This goes to show, you can teach your child whatever you want as long as you practice it in your everyday life.

You just need to show manners to children and they will follow your lead. If you say Please and Thank you, then they will too. When I hand my daughter a snack, drink, toy I say Thank you Mommy, and then before I release totally she repeats. If someone else hands her something I ask her to say thank you...she is 21 months old now and is on her way...this is the same thing I did for my sons, now 10 and 12 years old, and they were always complimented on their manners and how well behaved they were when they were younger....as tweenagers...well anything can happen...I have hope that they will bounce back. Good luck.

You cant really my youngest is 2 next month and i repeat the manners everytime and it will click for example saying thank you when you give them something, or teach them to say please when they want something its practice and consistency. This is how i taught my 4,3 and now my 23 month old and it is working my children are polite without forcing the issue good luck

Show them the difference between when your playing with them and being serious. Speak to them firmly and even a swat on the behind every now and then depending on what they have done. The most important thing is consistency.

Consistency and repetition. Remember, children follow from example so keep your manners up to scratch and they'll pick up on it naturally.
