There are actually a number of really good back to school manners to teach your children. First and foremost, I would say they need to remember the Golden Rule. They learned it in school and they really need to internalize it, just treat your fellow students, your teachers, your administrators the way you would like to be treated. Secondly, I would say to them that they really want to think about being inclusive. They want to invite friends, they don’t want to exclude anyone, to be mindful of their fellow student, and be sensitive to others. They also want to show good schools spirit, and to treat the administration staff with utmost respect. Get involved in extracurricular activities, cheer on whatever teams representing their school. All these ways really are a way to show respect and good behaviour towards the school. Another thing they should remember, and this is great for themselves, is to develop good study habits and do it early on. As they get older the work only gets harder, so if they realized that they should approach work first, get their homework done first and then set aside time for some activities; then they will really start to learn what that balance feels like.
