The competition for primary school places in Hong Kong is heating up, and many parents are putting their children's ability to get into their favourite schools as their top priority. Interviews are undoubtedly the key to getting your child into the school of your choice. In this process, your child's etiquette will play an important role.

As an etiquette instructor, I understand the importance of good etiquette in a child's development, especially at this critical time of the primary school interview.

First of all, we have to see that the interviewer is not only concerned about the child's academic performance, but also about his/her moral and social skills when evaluating the child. Good manners, such as neat and decent attire, polite manners and communication style, can win the interviewer's favour and become the highlight of his/her performance.

The ABC's of etiquette are as follows

A: Appearance and Attitude

B｜Behaviour

C｜Communication

For example, a child who is well-groomed and elegant will give a first impression of maturity and self-confidence, and the interviewing officer will think that such a child will be excellent in classroom performance and interaction with teachers and students. A child who is rude and lacks good manners is likely to give the interviewer a negative impression of his or her character and attitude towards learning.

Secondly, good manners can boost a child's self-confidence and help them stay calm and collected during an interview. We all know that interviews are a challenge for many children, and nerves and stress will inevitably affect their performance. However, children with good manners and attitudes are more likely to be able to put themselves in the shoes of others, keep their emotions in check, and face questions in a positive and confident manner. This kind of calmness is undoubtedly impressive.

In addition, etiquette is also a reflection of a person's moral character. In addition to assessing a child's academic performance, interviewers will also pay attention to whether he or she possesses excellent character qualities such as respect, responsibility and empathy. Children with good manners are usually better in this area, which will undoubtedly leave a good impression on the interviewer.

It is important to note that good manners are not only helpful for primary school interviews, but also for your child's future development. Primary school is a critical period for children's character building, and good manners will form the basis for children's future adaptation to society and communication and harmony with others.

In addition to the child, the parents' appearance and communication attitude during the interview process are also very important. After all, the interview is not only an opportunity to get to know your child, but also a way for the school to learn about your family's background. A courteous and friendly parent will certainly leave a good impression on the interviewer, showing the importance of the family and the parents' educational philosophy, and thus winning more opportunities for the child.

Therefore, I believe that parents should pay attention to cultivate their children's etiquette, which will not only help them to pass the primary school interview, but also be the foundation of their children's character for their future growth. Here are some of my specific suggestions: 1.

1. Start teaching your child basic manners in daily life, such as greeting, eating, receiving others, and so on. Patiently guide your child to develop good habits and give appropriate encouragement. 2.

2. Pay attention to your child's behaviour and set up correct standards of behaviour. Teach your child to respect others, maintain good manners, and develop a sense of empathy and responsibility.

3. Take your child to participate in activities that are conducive to the development of manners, such as visiting museums, attending concerts, and learning about different nationalities and local cultures. Through these activities, children can experience the charm of culture and cultivate their manners.

4. Parents should set a good example of good etiquette and set a good example for their children to follow.

5. Parents should also pay attention to their own appearance and communication style during interviews, showing the image of a family that attaches importance to education.

In conclusion, good manners will not only help your child to excel in the primary school interview, but will also be the foundation for your child's healthy growth in the future. It is my sincere hope that through the joint efforts of parents and the school, our next generation will grow up to be outstanding people with high morals and excellent training.
