Mostly-trained child
We're trying to teach politeness to our daughter from a pretty early age: easier than trying to overlay it when she's a teenager.
She doesn't always remember to say ''please'' or ''thank you''. But when she forgets, if I put two fingers behind my ear and arch my eyebrow quizzically, she'll add the appropriate phrase.

Right. Next thing you know, you'll be installing a machine that drops food pellets when she gets her homework problems correct. Be careful or the Society of Sociologists will revoke your membership.

You know those clickers they use to train animals? I do the same thing with my 3rd graders. . . with the occasional food reinforcer.
