Emily Post's the Guide to Good Manners for Kids

It is a book on manners. I am hoping it will help my Granddaughter with her hehavior.

Emily Post tackle's the issue of "Table Manners for Kids". This book is co-authored by Peggy Post and Cindy Post Senning, daughters of Emily. From how to eat cherry tomato's, to the proper way to set the table, to how to apologize for a slip up while at the table, to how to throw a dinner party, this book covers it all with easy to understand picture's along with question and answer segments. Kids will be delighted in how this book addresses common mistakes, makes light of them and moves on to the correct way to handle the situation. Nobody learns well when they receive table manner lessons while being ridiculed for their behavior at the table, and this book takes on the job of addressing common do's and do not's without the fear of being criticized. As an adult, I would recommend this book to people of all ages who have interaction with children, be their interaction daily or monthly, for our action's are the best teachers. This is an enjoyable read and I learned quite a lot regarding "proper table manners". Similar to how "slang" has infected our language; "slangish manner's" have infected our table habits and show up as a lack of respect for our selves and others while at the table.

I think this is a good book. My 12 yr old read it and I recommended it to a friend. I am complimented constantly on my childrens behaviors. My daughter would stay up reading this. Maybe I am old fashioned and maybe the kids are but manners and etiquette go back many many yrs, theres even some history on where etiquette started.
