RE: Re: Attchment

[Guest guest]

I do this with my son unless he says please or thank you for something that

he wants I jsut ignore his request until he realizes what word in the

sentence that he has missed. Works wonders with him he very rarely forgets

now.

Also when I call him or ask him a question he usually answers with a WHAT, I

just keep saying his name or asking the question or to do the task until he

answers Pardon. Most of my friends without AS compliment me on his

politeness all the time. So I guess for him it works.

Hope this helps.
