Etiquette for Children – A Guide to Teach Good Behaviour (Book 1)

Please and thank you are where courtesy begins, and the opening book of the Etiquette for Children series stays close to those first, most useful habits. Topics include greeting people, behaving at the table, showing respect to elders and knowing how to conduct oneself away from home. The examples are drawn from situations a young child already recognises, and the bright illustration keeps the lessons from reading like correction. Since the entries are brief, the book suits being read in small doses, one habit at a time, with plenty of room for a parent to add their own examples. Good to know: • Starts with the earliest courtesies rather than assuming prior habits • Covers greetings, conduct at the table, respect for elders and public behaviour • Simple language matched to very young children • Colourful pages that keep the tone encouraging rather than scolding A first book on manners for small children, and a useful classroom or home resource for the adults teaching them; published by Dreamland Publications and stocked by Boipoka.
