My one year old says thank you. I'm not trying to brag but this is the truth. My three year old says, please, thank you, and your welcome. I am very proud that he says this. I think it is important to teach your kids manners as early as possible because they are terms that will get them far throughout their life and every person should know and say them. So I believe that the earlier you teach them the more likely they will never forget to use them.
This is a very important part of learning and I think it should be one of the first things every parents teaches their child to say. I know that mama and dada are the first things you want to hear but the next thing you should try for is please and thank you. If they are having trouble with their words then I think sign language is a great tool to. My kids learned a few easy signs within a matter of minutes. They start off using their hands before they ever make their first sound so it makes sense that it would be easier for them to learn sign language.
So if you have not started teaching your kids those few simple words then you should probably start now. Besides there is nothing cuter than seeing one of those little people say thank you in the store and having everyone aww at how sweet they are! Here is a recent email I got from babycenter.com talking about exactly what I am saying.
