I was taught the same @Muzna in regards to serving water to anyone. Also to use my right hand while consuming water. water or any beverage/food is to be consumed sitting down.
putting on footwear on right foot first.
not sitting with outstretched legs in presence of an elder. No laying down in presence of an elder unless too sick to sit. no sitting with back to an elder unless they n everyone is watching tv/movie etc..
everyone older .. even by a day has a title of respect to be used at all time. my sister who is 2 yrs younger calls me aapi.
at meals, elders are served first n we wait till they are finished serving themselves before reaching for anything n the table … as opposed to several ppl serving themselves simultaneously or serving the kids first.
in my home … moms do the initial serving (unless the elder prefers to serve them self). we serve ourselves for second helping etc …
if there are guests then guests go first.
never ever ever ever accept kitchen help from guest. its considered poor form to have the guest help set out food or bring dirty dishes to the sink … even if they are good close friends. it just isnt done.

im teaching my kids all of the above.

All of the above here too.
