Hye all, See You Again in Sharing Session....



Whenever you visit someone else's home and you have children you should always educate your child on how they are to behave. Some parents feel that if a child is only three or four years of age that they do not understand. Children are actually very smart, and can begin learning from infancy. The key to teaching any child is repetition, so be repaired to have to say things more then once. Following are some suggestions on how you can teach your child to behave when they are a guest in another person's house.


1. Teach your children not to stand on furniture at home and they won't do it at another person's home. It is very important that you take the time to teach your children not to stand on sofas, tables, or other objects at home first. This way when you visit another person's home they will already know that this type of behavior is unacceptable.

2. If it is not theirs, then they should not touch it. Sometimes we are invited over to a person's house that happens to have some very nice and sometimes fragile things. This is why it is so important that our children understand the importance of not touching anything that does not belong to them. Of course this will be something that you will have to repeat over and over again but eventually they will get it.

3. No running in the house. How many times have parents heard this when they were children. Once again if you take the time to set some general rules in your own home, such as no running in the house then you will definitely have nothing to worry about. This is not to say that they can not have fun, but there are other activities that children can do to keep them occupied that does not include running through someone's house.

4. Exploring definitely not allowed. One thing that young children love to do is go exploring when they are at a new place. When you are visiting someone's house however certain rooms of the house are sometimes off limits, especially to young children. In most cases this would mean that the parents have to make sure they keep a close eye on their child at all times to make sure that they don't go anywhere they are not supposed to. If they do try to explore take the time to explain to them why certain rooms or areas are off limits. When it comes to kids if you give them a clear reason as to why they are not allowed to do something they are more likely to listen. Don't forget that you will definitely have to repeat this several times before they do get it.

5. Don't follow the example of other children. Sometimes people have parties at their homes where a few families are invited. This may mean that there will be other children present. These children may be allowed to do whatever they want and have no rules set for them. You should however make sure that your children do not follow after them. Just because one child chooses not to follow the rules of the person hosting the event does not mean that your child has to follow along with the crowd.

6. Punishment may be necessary. Most parents hate to discipline their children in public or in front of others. However in some cases in order for your child to get your point it may become necessary for you to put them on a time out. I am sure that your host will have no problem with you doing this, especially if it means that your child will not be causing any damage to their home.

7. Bring along a game or activity to keep your child occupied. On some occasions when you are visiting someone it is very easy for your child to become bored. Especially if they are unable to do the activities that they are able to do at home. As a parent you should always make sure that you are well prepared for these types of situations. There are plenty of games or activities that your child can do to keep them occupied and out of trouble. This will also help them to learn the proper way to behave at another person's house.

8. Practice at home. Why not have a practice run at home on how to behave when visiting another person's home. You can make it a game that you pretend to be a guest in someone's home. This way when you finally get to your destination you can inform them that you are going to play the game again. This is a really great idea especially for very young children.

9. Give plenty of praise and possibly a good behavior reward. Children love to hear when their parents are proud of them and happy with their behavior. So if your child does a good job at behaving when they are a guest in someone's home why not get them a special treat on your way home. This will help them to encourage them to behave the next time you are a guest at someone's house.

10. Repetition is definitely the key. I really can not stress enough how important it is for parents to repeat the rules over and over again. You may get pretty exhausted having to do this over and over again, but it will definitely be worth it in the long run.
The bottom line is that nay child can be taught the proper way to behave when they are visiting someone house. It also teaches them how to respect the property of others. Not only will you and your child be happy, but I am positive that your host will appreciate your efforts as well.
