What Do “Please” and “Thank You” Mean?

The spoken lesson

"Please is a word that can make a request sound respectful. You might say, 'Water, please,' or 'Help, please.' Thank you tells someone that you noticed and appreciated what they did. You might say, 'Thank you for the book,' or 'Thank you for helping me.' Children can also use signs, gestures, pictures, or a smile. Polite words are useful, but they are not magic commands. A child still deserves food, water, safety, care, and comfort when the words are difficult. Please asks respectfully. Thank you shows appreciation." DESIGN REQUIREMENTS: Use ordinary social moments and inclusive communication methods. Avoid obedience points, forced repetition, withholding items, politeness scoring, or public performance.
