5. BEING POLITE
Say "please" and "thank
you."
You don't like it when someone demands
you do something without asking nicely.
In a family situation, it's easy to
forget that, though and leave off the
niceties. Try to always remember to say
"please," "thank you," and "excuse me"
when appropriate, even to family
members

6. BEING POLITE
•WATCH YOUR TONE.
• THIS STEP GOES HAND IN HAND WITH SAYING
PLEASE AND THANK YOU. THAT IS, NOBODY
LIKES TO BE ORDERED AROUND. IT'S
IMPORTANT TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE TONE
YOU'RE USING WHEN TALKING TO FAMILY
MEMBERS. FOR INSTANCE, INSTEAD OF
DEMANDING IN A RUDE TONE, "GET ME SOME
JUICE!" YOU COULD SAY, "WOULD YOU MIND
GETTING ME SOME JUICE, PLEASE?"

7. BEING POLITE
•BE RESPONSIBLE FOR
YOUR OWN MESS.
• ONE WAY TO BE RESPECTFUL AND POLITE IS
TO CLEAN UP AFTER YOURSELF. IF YOU
LEAVE A MESS FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO
CLEAN, THAT SHOWS YOU DON'T RESPECT
HIS OR HER TIME. PUT YOUR TOYS AND
ITEMS AWAY, AND PUT AWAY DIRTY
CLOTHES. CLEAN UP AFTER YOURSELF IN
THE BATHROOM, AND DO YOUR SHARE OF
CHORES IN THE HOUSE.[1]
