I would say B - children learn by example, and if you don't say it they won't either. them little tikes

A and B are both good. The child should learn through example and then demonstrate it and find out the benefits to make a positive impression of it on them. C is also good for teaching them. But I wouldn't go with D. Peer pressure really doesn't have anything to do with it when they're still little kids.

B is the best answer. But A is also a good answer.

You shouldn't have to tell them to do so in a class room, it's something they should already have from home. However, it is something you could lay down as the ground rules at the beginning of the class or take into consideration if there is a citizenship grade or something similar.

By your example so you teach!
Proper planning and preparation prevents poor performance, so, B & D wpould seem to fit the bill.
Also it doesn't hurt to deny the child occasionally until the magic words are spoken. A seemingly minor task to teach, but, with immense consequences if not taught at all.

I'm not sure what the textbook answer is but I've taught my son by example. He's 2 and very well mannered.

Also, a little bit of reminding him to do so until he caught on.

So, B & C

A combination of A, B, and C. You need to imitate for them, but you also need to encourage them to say it because they don't always remember on their own. Sometimes they need a prompt. You also need to, in class, make sure that you stress the importance of good manners for the benefit of all the kids, but also for those kids whose parents do not model it.

Tell the whole class how to ask and to say thank you and then enforce that as the means of getting things in class.

B. Children learn by example. The way I taught my son manners was by using them, myself.

B and C . My two year old says thank you all the time . When I hand him some thing I say thank you and he repeats it and I try to lead by example if he hands me some thing I say thank you too. Hope this helped.
