Little Poll...
Do you make your kids........
Say Sir/Mam, As in Yes sir, No Mam
Please/Thank you
Please, as in when someone asks your child "Would you like..."
Thank you, but no.
I only ask because people always looked at DD (and still do) like she's so polite. Yes, I have gotten the, "I'm not a Mam", but I tell them she has to do it out of respect.
Re: Little Poll...
Also beginning his request with "May I?"
Beckett had amazing manners when he first really got to talking, everyone was always so impressed. Once he went to preschool for a while, I noticed him forgetting them a bit (I'm guessing because the other kids don't use them), but if he doesn't say please or thank you, we remind him to make sure he does.
I expect the manners (we have used please and thank you on a daily basis with her since she was very little). I am not sure yet about ma'am and sir. I get that phrase a lot from my students and it does sound nice and respectful. I guess I will have to get back to you on that as she gets older.

Thank you for being a good parent
I hate when my students answer me, "yeah", especially when they're getting in trouble for something. I don't think Sir and Mam are necessary, but I do ask them to say "YES Mrs. XXX". I also encourage them to say please and thank you when appropriate. Also, saying Good morning, hello, answering how they are when they are asked, etc. is important!
