He had been occasionally doing it with prompting as a sign. But now, he will just say Dank after getting something. It's fantastic. We taught him please but he used that for everything. Now he will sit there and say "mohr" and sign please over and over again and I don't know what he needs. .twist. on "Do you make your LO say "please," "thank you," and "excuse me"?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-lo-say-please-thank-you-and-excuse-me#post-416844 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 12:41:26 +0000 .twist. 416844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @T-Mom: So do we!

At first it was disheartening to have to ask Dd every time- "how do you ask!"(please may i have) or "what do you say?(thank you ) every. Single. Time. But it has paid off. We get compliments on her manners all the time from strangers. .twist. on "Do you make your LO say "please," "thank you," and "excuse me"?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-lo-say-please-thank-you-and-excuse-me#post-416824 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 12:33:08 +0000 .twist. 416824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yep. They have to say those things all the time. They even ask if they "may be excused from the table". banana on "Do you make your LO say "please," "thank you," and "excuse me"?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-lo-say-please-thank-you-and-excuse-me#post-416818 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 12:29:34 +0000 banana 416818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We'll prompt him to say "please" so he's pretty good about that. But we haven't prompted him to say "thank you" yet. We model it for him every day so that he sees us doing it. But haven't prompted him to do it yet. purrpletulips on "Do you make your LO say "please," "thank you," and "excuse me"?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-lo-say-please-thank-you-and-excuse-me#post-416814 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 12:27:21 +0000 purrpletulips 416814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ yes but often needs prompting Lozza on "Do you make your LO say "please," "thank you," and "excuse me"?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-lo-say-please-thank-you-and-excuse-me#post-416808 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 12:25:55 +0000 Lozza 416808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Andrea: We didn't really think to introduce "excuse me" yet, but daycare has the kids use it when they bump into each other or need someone to move. LO will mow other kids down since he exists in a near-permanent state of motion/frenzy, but at least he's pretty good at saying "excuse me" when he does it.

It's so cute when she says I'm sorry.

UPDATE: Charlie has been making progress on this front, but I still have to remind him to say please, thank you and excuse me... How about you guys? heffalump on "Do you make your LO say "please," "thank you," and "excuse me"?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-lo-say-please-thank-you-and-excuse-me#post-104736 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 08:00:04 +0000 heffalump 104736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I always say it to her, with hopes that she'll catch on when she starts talking. volksgirl64 on "Do you make your LO say "please," "thank you," and "excuse me"?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-lo-say-please-thank-you-and-excuse-me#post-104732 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 07:58:10 +0000 volksgirl64 104732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We're pretty much the same as Rock N Roll - first we worked on please like "Milk please" then it was "Give me the milk please" and now we're working on "Can I have some milk please?". She always forgets "Yes, please" and says "yeah" which drives me crazy. She's pretty good at Thank you and No, Thank you. We're really working on "Excuse me" which will lead into "Excuse me please".

When asking for/receiving something, I'd say she's awesome at thank you, but still needs a little prompting with please (I think it was harder to pick up because putting the cause/effect of using it was more difficult since it was the cause instead of the effect.) She uses "excuse me" when she wants to get our attention sometimes, but we're working on that as well. I'm also trying to get her to ask to be excused when she's done eating at dinner, but that one is slooooow coming.

I don't have her saying excuse me ... when does Charlie say that? Like if he burps or farts? Or for you to move?

But not all the time! Working on it. :-) Do you make your LO say "please," "thank you," and "excuse me"? How is it going?
