The Spring Festival is coming soon, and it’s time to visit relatives and friends again. There is no better time than the Spring Festival to let children understand the ways of the world. At this time, it can best reflect whether the child is polite and well-educated. Visiting during the Spring Festival can help children better understand the relationships between family members and various titles; visiting relatives and friends can help them learn the traditional culture and etiquette of the New Year. A person\’s education is formed bit by bit. Parents should start from now on to teach their children the rules they should abide by, help them become well-behaved and polite children, and learn to get along with the world. Guest Etiquette: Tell your children that when you arrive at a relative’s house, you must smile and say hello to all your relatives and friends. If you are not very familiar with the person and cannot address them by name, it is okay to smile, wave and say \”hello\”. If the host doesn\’t say please sit down, don\’t sit down. If there are elders in the room, wait until the elders are seated before sitting down. It is very taboo to look left, right, and around in other people\’s homes. It is also taboo to walk around at will and enter and exit other people\’s bedrooms and other private areas. Don\’t move things without the owner\’s permission, even the pillows on the sofa, and don\’t turn on the TV or adjust the remote control. Children must smile and say \”thank you\” after being entertained. When leaving, say goodbye to the host\’s family in a gentle tone, and ask the host to stay and not see him off far. Remember, other people’s homes are not your own, and basic respect and courtesy are a must. Hospitality Etiquette Parents should encourage and guide their children to get along cordially with guests, and do not let their children think that entertaining guests is only the task of their parents and is not their own business. When you hear a guest knocking on the door, you should greet him warmly. When accepting a gift or red envelope from a guest, take it with both hands and express your gratitude. After receiving it, do not open the gift or red envelope in front of the guests. After the guests sit down, children can do some simple hospitality tasks, such as serving tea and water, and preparing some snacks and fruits. If there are children coming together, the children should learn to share their toys and snacks generously. When guests are talking to their parents, children should not interrupt casually. When guests talk to you, you should be polite, sincere and polite, and don\’t be perfunctory. When a guest gets up to say goodbye, he should stand up and see off the guest with his parents. Do not stay in his own room and shut up. Table manners: Whether you are at your own home or a relative\’s home, when dining, you must sit down in the order of the elders first, and the younger ones last. Let the elders use chopsticks first, and parents should encourage their children to serve their elders with food. Don\’t look around on your plate or put your favorite dish in front of yourself just to pick out your favorite dish. This would appear selfish. When eating, chew slowly, try not to make any noise, don\’t devour the food, and don\’t talk with the food in your mouth. Remind your children not to do other things while eating, such as playing with toys or mobile phones, as this will be detrimental to digestion. After finishing the meal, put the leftovers into the trash can, straighten the chairs, and politely say to the people at the table: \”Please take your time.\” When visiting other people\’s homes, no matter whether the food prepared by the host is to your taste or not, you should Thank them for their hospitality. Every detail during the meal reflects a person\’s upbringing. Parents should cultivate their children\’s civilized \”eating habits\” from an early age. Don\’t just focus onWe regard the nutrition on the table but forget the education on the table. Conversation Etiquette Parents should encourage their children to greet relatives and friends generously. If their children are shy by nature, parents should not be anxious and do not scold them in public. Just guide them patiently. Parents should remind their children that when talking to others, their voices should be moderate, and they should not make any noise or coyness. Speak slowly, not too fast, otherwise the other person will not hear you clearly. When talking to someone, look them in the eye and don\’t look around. This will make the other party think that the child is half-hearted and not listening carefully. In the process of talking with people, there may be times when there are disagreements. Remember not to hurt others with harsh words and respect each other.
