For example, my children might want a glass of milk at dinner and say something like "I want milk." If you ask me that's extremely demanding. Just by adding the word "please" can change the entire context.My Favorite Starfish Returns to teach a little respect!5.0 out of 5 starsGreat for young children January 13, 2014By reesann723I've been very lucky to review many of Suzy Liebermann's Hugo The Happy Starfish children's books.
