  Can playing hide-and-seek really teach a child 4.about manners? – 玩多貓貓可以教孩子禮貌嗎?

Yes, say Trakimas and others, because it tells the child that his parents care enough to spend time with him, he is loved and can learn to love others. 可以，Trakimas與其他人表示，因為這讓孩子知道他的父母關心到願意花時間陪他，他是被愛的和可學習去愛其他人。

禮儀指導老師Patricia Gilbert-Hinz表示同意的說禮儀並不是指使用正確的叉子，禮儀是當個善良的人- 讚美他人，合群/團隊合作，做出些微的犧牲。這些都是小孩從他們的父母身上學來的。
