Children learn by example. Be the person you want your child to become. Don't shout, lose your cool, always have a smile on your face. Just be a great role model!!!

The best way you can teach your daughter anything right now is by simply being a great role model in everything you say and do. Your daughter is an absolute sponge right now and this time in her life is crucial for her.
Whatever she sees you doing she will repeat very soon, good or bad: if you swear, she wil copy, if you yell, she will copy. Just learning to be a better example will do wonders for her healthy development, providing you are modelling the right things to her.
When you hand her anything, say to her "thank you". Just say exactly what you are trying to encourage her to say, and don't stress if it takes quite a while. The main thing is that you are encouraging everything.
You may not feel like you are doing much at present but don't underestimate what is going in. You can't affored to hold onto grudges, raise your voice at others, talk horribly about anyone, etc. There is SO much to work on that will affect your daughter for the good if you refine little things in your life for the sake of your child. Hope this helps.

Leading by example is a good idea. Some of the best things are to eat at the table as a family to help teach her table manners. As she gets older always laugh at her jokes unless they're inappropriate. This helps her develop a sense of humour. When she does something to hurt others ask her how she'd feel if she'd feel someone did that to her. If she doesn't know how that would feel give her an example. "Do you remember when you couldn't find your teddy bear. That made you really sad didn't it?" Say if she takes another child's toy. This will help her have empathy. If she says something impolite to anyone call her on it immediately, say that's not kind we don't speak to people that way in this family. Get her to apologize to the person.

That's all I can think of for now. Sorry that they're mostly for older children. Unless of course you mean things like learning how to walk. I looked after a baby who did not want to walk....until I put a pair of sparkly shoes on her. Then she practiced her little heart out. If she's learning to talk and insists on merely pointing at things. Hand her something ridiculous that's nearby what she pointed at. Reading to your child also fosters a love of books early on.

Sorry this is so disjointed.

In terms of teaching her manners and the concept of sharing you can begin by saying, "say Ta" everytime you give her something (food, toys, drinks etc..). eventually she will begin to say it back to you. Also when you play with her on the floor, ask her for a toy she is playing with by saying, "mummy's turn now" but don't actually take it off her, just put out your hand and wait for her to give it to you, then after a minute give it back to her. When she gives it to you say 'ta' (thankyou) and when you ask say 'please' Try this with daddy and other family and friends so she knows it applys to all people and not just you.
Also when you are outside or at home, point out simple things like 'ball, tree, dog, cat, car,sky, plane, cup, bowl' (all 1 syllable words for now) so she starts to become aware of names for things and her surroundings.
Its never to early to start teaching your child manners like saying Ta/thank you but she probably won't start to say it back till 12mths+ and unprompted before 2.5 - 3 yrs. My son is 2.8yrs old and still needs prompting everynow and then to say thankyou and please.

hope this helps!

go for the books which has some colorful and cartoon pictures, because pictorial teaching with some colorful ones is really effective when compared to others

Search for books about transactional analysis.They are psychological books for understanding yourself and becoming better.I'm sure there are for mothers as well.
