Sure, here is a revised version of the text: "Conversation skills are essential for effective communication. Unfortunately, schools often don't teach manners, etiquette, and proper communication. That's why a manners class for children is so valuable. In this two-week course, students will learn how to greet others, make introductions, start and maintain conversations, and leave a positive impression. The course uses slides, videos, interactive lectures, and activities to engage students. It's important for children to learn how to communicate effectively, as this skill will help them make friends. The course includes practice conversations, question-asking, and turn-taking exercises. It's a live class that lasts approximately 50 minutes, including time for questions and answers." The following topics will be covered: -Meeting and Introducing -How to start a conversation -How to keep a conversation going -Answering an adult the correct way -Talking back -Speaking politely -Making eye contact -Showing that you're listening -Knowing when to end the conversation -Conversation do’s and don’ts -Giving and receiving compliments -How to leave a good first impression -Understanding Body Language

Teacher expertise and credentials
My name is Michelle Shannon. I am an etiquette coach, mompreneur and author of several books about etiquette and manners. I have 3 children. I love to cook, read books, teach and shop. I teach etiquette classes for children and teens. I help make children aware of the connections between kindness and proper manners. I also help make children more comfortable in social situations by teaching them to be more aware of when and how to use proper manners.
I have worked with children for over 16 years teaching children proper manners and how to be more confident while building social skills. I work with children in a one-on-one or group setting. I create small and large events like tea parties and classes at department stores to teach girls proper manners for young ladies. I also have experience working in a classroom setting assisting with teaching children and creating lesson plans. I often visit classrooms, schools, churches and events to teach people about the importance of etiquette and proper manners. Also, I'm a homeschooling parent. My daughter is now in high school. I have been homeschooling my daughter for several years.
In my opinion, as a society we may not be doing the best job teaching children proper manners. An etiquette coach will make them aware of the rules that should be followed in today's society. I think it's important to teach our children about etiquette and proper manners so that they won't get embarrassed in social situations and to prepare them for a successful future.
I was invited to a studio in Beverly Hills where I auditioned to have my own reality show about etiquette. They decided not to go through with the show.Reviews
