Birthday Etiquette By Heidi Hoff Your child has been invited to yet another birthday party. Gone are the days when she required you to stick around for the entire party and now tells you that you can leave the second you drop her off at the door. You secretly hope she remembers her manners and makes a good impression. The only thing you can really do though, is to go over a few basic rules, maybe engage in a bit of role play and then let her go! Here is a basic list of manners your child should know when attending a birthday party: 2. Have your child take off his or her shoes when entering the house. 3. If there is no designated area to put the gift, your child should ask where he should leave it. 9. Make sure your child knows that once the gifts are opened, they belong to the birthday child and it is up to them to decide when they will be removed from the packaging. Think of how the birthday child might feel if after the party, all of his gifts have been taken out of their boxes and are left strewn around the house. The gifts have suddenly lost their newness and appeal. 11 .At the end of the party, make sure your child thanks the parents and the birthday child for inviting her. Pick her up at the designated time and make a quick exit. The parents will surely be exhausted. They may also have a family party planned for that evening and need everyone cleared out by a certain time.

Etiquette child manners and thank you notes Our children will be the recipients of many gifts. This begins when they are brought into the world and it will continue into their adulthood. It is important to teach children at a young age, the importance of appreciating the efforts of others. bodyOffer(22263) The most effective way is by example. Allow your child to see you writing a thank you note. Children as well as adults must learn to show appreciation to others. No one has to give a gift, whether it is a tangible item or a gift of time. Gift givers perform this act, because they want to and because it makes them feel good. Another thing that makes these gift givers feel good, is the fact that the recipient has taken the time to say thank-you. If a child witnesses his parent taking the time to write a short note or letter to thank someone, he will understand the importance of the thank-you note or letter. A thank you letter should include the gift giver's name, the item given and a description of how you feel with the gift and what you are going to do with it. The next time your child receives a gift, sit him down and explain what the person did. Explain that the giver cares so much about the child that he wanted to show his love by offering a present.

Back to Index Parent's Etiquette Tips Here are some etiquette tips to keep in mind when minding your children: 1. Please and Thank You "Please" and "Thank You" are still the magic words they've always been, and you will be doing your child a favor if you insist that she use them until they become a habit. Everyone likes to be appreciated, and "Thank You" is the accepted way of showing appreciation. "Please" can turn a demand into a request and indicates an option—it can turn an unpopular request into a more palatable one. 2. Greetings Teach your children, as soon as they are old enough to understand, to greet people by name. Learning early on to look someone in the eye and say "Hello Mr. Kelly"—instead of "Hi" mumbled at the ground—is a valuable lesson for the future. 3. Table Manners

Invitations If you're going to distribute invitations through the school, teachers recommend you invite the whole class to avoid hurt feelings. On the receiving end, it's good manners to respond to invitations immediately. 2. Guest List If the guest list goes beyond the number of children you're comfortable having at the party, plan individual play-dates with the children who are not "musts" at the party. Amy Vanderbilt, the etiquette expert, says, "It's important for a child to learn from an early age the importance of repaying hospitality, even if it's offered in a totally different form from the original invitation." 3.

For full details, see our Telephone Manners Matter by Julie Clark One of my pettest peeves is the lack of phone manners. This has been on my mind for a while, but a recent incident had me longing for the days when phone manners were taught in school. Of course, proper telephone etiquette should be modeled and taught in the home as well - the practical setting. The lessons in phone etiquette taught in school were fun, but were important. Fun, because we didn't have to do boring subjects like math, and we got to make neat little phones out of stiff manilla paper, complete with a rotary dial. Then we'd have practice conversations with a classmate, as the teacher moderated and gave us the proper cues. Each child had a turn at placing and receiving "calls," there were no "star" students modeling for the rest of us. Perhaps some think that there is no place for such lessons today, that they are archaic and old-fashioned. Maybe they think there are "more important" lessons than manners. But proper manners are never out of fashion, and instilling them into children is an important part of their education.

TEACHING CHILDREN ANIMAL SENSE AND MANNERS by Diana Guerrero We have increasingly become more distant from our animal friends. Many children have no idea what the proper rules regarding animals are. Some approach strange animals with reckless abandon, while others shrink away in terror at the mere sight of one. What should you teach your child about animals and when should you start? The answer is to start at an early age and ease into more complicated situations gradually. The ideal time to begin is when a child first starts to notice movement and begins to recognize familiar sights. This is a good time to start pointing out animals and their names. Examples of opportunities are to point out birds and lizards at the park, or butterflies and bees in the backyard. These good beginnings will include having the child listen and look from a distance. Next, you can visit pet stores, zoos, and animal related places to point out animals in a controlled setting. It is not a good idea to teach a child to reach out for an animal. Many kids get injured because they take the liberty of approaching a strange animal and instigating contact. Petting zoos are not always ideal unless you work without food and make sure the child is not intimidated or run over by the animals housed in one.

SCHOOL PROGRAM Click here for a collage of pictures from Manners of the Heart school programs Curriculum This curriculum is an introduction to manners and etiquette for elementary school children, kindergarten through third grade. If we define manners as an attitude of the heart that is self-giving, not self-serving, the objective of this curriculum is to teach children that manners come from the heart, not from memorizing a set of rules Manners of the Heart is based on the belief that if respect for others is the foundation of how we treat one another, manners and etiquette will come naturally. The role of the teacher, parent, or any loving adult is to provide steady, patient guidance in training a child to be respectful. As with many areas of education, the most effective method of helping children comprehend the importance of good manners is through repetition. It is the goal of this curriculum to provide the instructor(s) with a creative and hands-on approach to instilling important principles that can influence children's behavior in all social situations and relationships.

Return to Home About Us Author and Developer: Barbara Gilmour Barbara was raised in a family where good manners were practiced. She has a degree in Home Economics from Penn State University where etiquette instruction was taught and practiced while living in a Home Management House. She married into a socially and politically active family where all aspects of the social graces were taught. By the mid 1990's, after having several part-time jobs and a self-owned floral design business, Barbara decided to try something new. She spent a year researching and writing two courses, Manners for Kids 8-12 and Manners for Teens . These courses have been taught locally for several years. Barbara has spent more than a year expanding the content of the Manners for Kids 8-12 course to reach a wider market. This content has been built into a new course called Tanner's Manners: Be a "Kool Kind Kid" Our Purpose This course is designed to teach children how to be comfortable in any social situation. It builds character, self-esteem and social self-confidence. It instills wholesome values that will have a positive impact on every area of a child's life. It shows a child how to be a "Kool" kid with a kind heart; how to live "The Golden Rule" in today's world; and be the best that he or she can be. Author Barbara Gilmour (Elisa Etiquette), believes that good habits, when learned at an early age, become the good habits of a lifetime. And, that to raise a child's CQ (Caring Quotient) we must raise that child's MQ (Manners Quotient).

June 25, 2001 Issue Full Text Teaching etiquette to children Special instructors attempt to meet a growing demand for formality by Jeff Townsend and Candis McLean P ARADOXICALLY, in a society which is becoming ever more casual, there is an increasing demand for courses teaching manners and etiquette to children. Lori Benjamin, owner of Calgary-based World Class Etiquette, attributes the need for her services to popular television shows such as The Simpsons and Southpark which depict ill-mannered children, as well as parents having less time with their children. Since starting her company in 1995, interest in Ms. Benjamin's etiquette lessons has grown exponentially, with features on local television programs and recently a regular newspaper column. Business is so brisk, in fact, that Ms. Benjamin has begun offering courses to teach a limited number of people the skills to teach the courses themselves. One such pupil is Kaayla Canfield, who is launching Etiquette Essentials ( kbcanfield@home.com ). "There are so many people who don't realize what is stopping them from getting promoted. The earlier people can learn correct etiquette, the easier it will be to get ahead," advises Ms. Canfield. Teaching etiquette to young people is not without its difficulties. "Sometimes they're dragged in kicking and screaming, expecting the worst," says Ms. Benjamin, "so we try to make it fun." For younger children, teaching techniques include role playing, crafts, story telling, and playground work. For a period of time, children are allowed to play together while instructors watch over them; they are then advised how they can improve their interactions. Ms. Benjamin recalls the time a six-year-old child pushed her friend and shouted, "Move!" When asked how she could be more polite she replied, "Move, please!" "I asked her, 'How about excuse me?' To which the child replied, 'Why? I didn't burp!'"

Get the depth on this story! Parents must do their etiquette homework Saturday, 25-Jan-2003 6:00PM PST Column from Judith Martin Schools want to punish parents for not doing their homework. Clari News The assignment not being performed is child rearing, a task for which the parents can be said to have implicitly volunteered. At a few American schools and in England's government education department, the hope is to make parents legally responsible for the misbehavior of their children. In many cases, Miss Manners is shocked to learn, parents don't even "turn in" the results of whatever desultory work they may have been doing at home. Failure to enforce the child's showing up at school runs afoul of truancy laws, providing a case for bringing legal action. But current thinking goes beyond that to the notion that the parent must produce the child in a state and attitude conducive to learning. Nobody stoops to call the training involved etiquette, for fear of setting off uncontrollable childish giggles, but that is what it is. The ability to sit still for short periods of time, listen to what other people say and refrain from hitting as a first line of argument are manners that must be learned before one is in a state to learn anything else. The presumption Miss Manners hears is that parents who neglect this homework have the same excuses as students who don't do theirs: They forgot, they had too much else to do, they didn't feel well, they had personal troubles, they didn't understand the assignment, they thought they had more time left in which to do it.

Rhode Island woman receives certificate to teach etiquette By LeAnne Gendreau WASHINGTON, March 7 - Manners, etiquette and leadership. Those words might not make children beg their parents to sign them up for a Rhode Island day camp that should start this summer. But Lucille DeClemente is not planning a stuffy, white gloves kind of sit-down-and-behave yourself camp. Her camp will be for children to learn good manners and act them out. She wants to blend modern living and traditional manners for dining, introducing oneself and making speeches. "You can be at McDonald's and still eat properly," DeClemente said. She plans to start her two-day sessions on manners, etiquette and leadership skills for children 7-12 years old at a hotel in the Cranston area. And if all goes according to plan, the camp will open this June. The camp is DeClemente's first project using her new training and certification to teach protocol to children. She recently attended the Protocol School of Washington in McLean, Va., where she was certified to teach etiquette and manners by the school run by a renowned maven of protocol, etiquette and manners, Dorothea Johnson.
