子どものためのマナーと基本的な社会的なエチケットのガイド（5～10歳：概要）

I often hear that certain basic manners are lacking in middle and high school, but it's hard to get upset with the kids, as they don't know what they don't know; I have a class geared toward 10-15 year olds, but have found there is a demand for younger kids as well, which is what this is!  This class introduces/reinforces the basics as the social sphere of 5-10 year olds expands beyond the home to school, extracurricular activities, and all the experiences that come along with them.  

I am on Eastern Standard Time.

The bulk of what I cover...

-When to (and *why* we) say "please" and "thank you"
-Asking permission
-Conducting yourself in public
-Keeping yourself entertained without electronics
-Being mindful of how loud you are
-Waiting your turn
-Meeting new people
-Always being kind...even when you don't feel like it
-Interacting with your elders
-Eating at a restaurant or at someone's home
-Going to a birthday party or friend's house
-Proper table etiquette 

Students & parents will be encouraged to ask questions and offer observations during the class!
