How will you teach your children to address their elders?

My wife and I are teaching our son to say Mr., Ms., and Mrs.
With my friends, my daughter calls them by their name or nickname.
With some I’m not actually sure of their last name myself.
with strangers, just being nice, which she learned early really.
Also some of my friends would be really confused to be called ‘Ms Duffy’, and would likely not realise she was being spoken to, however calling her KC works lol.
Its about How we speak to others not the title / Honorific we use.
I am hoping people just never read the question.
Specifically “ Will you teach them to call your friends Mr., Ms., or Mrs. Smith or by name?’
Emphasis on friends, some of below is far too controlling.
In what universe will a 15 yr old kid refer to one of MY friends (say a) 27 yr old girl as Ms Duffy. It would be frankly weird.
Generally, Mister or Miss [name], unless they know differently. I do, however, reserve the right to teach them to refer to certain specific people as "Overlord" or "Grand Master" [name]. Gotta keep people on thier toes.
We’re in taekwondo among other things. “Sir/ma’am.” “Thank you, sir/ma’am.” isn’t uncommon along with the more common titles. Give respect and more likely to get respect.
Where I live, for people who are not figures of authority, I usually struck with ‘uncle’ and ‘auntie’.
Sometimes, I go with Mrs., Mr, Sir and Ma’am.

If they are close family members and friends I would prefer to call them by their names/nicknames !
depends. close friends will be their own name. otherwise it would be mr/mrs/miss/ms
Mr./Ms./Mrs./Dr. Whichever applies. No honorifics for anything else.
Mr, Miss, Misses, sir, ma'am
