* Telephone as before
According to a recent survey, commissioned by Fisher Price and HIT Entertainment, good manners is no less a concern in the 21st-century, but parents and carers now place more emphasis on positive reinforcement and setting a good adult example, rather than the punishment and restrictions of yesteryear. The Barney Best Behaviours toy range is intended to support and reinforce good habits. The Best Manners phone is designed to encourage pre-schoolers to role play telephone conversations and includes advice from Barney, like 'Always remember to say hello and goodbye'; 'Always say thank you for calling'; 'Always remember to say please and thank you', and 'Always speak clearly'. The phone also includes 'fun sounds', lights and melodies, priced around 8 from Fisher Price.
