“ Taking time to teach your child(ren) manners is the most valuable gift you will give them... and society.”
As Emily Post said, “Any child can be taught to be beautifully behaved with no effort greater than quiet patience and perseverance, whereas to break bad habits once they are acquired is a Herculean task.” Like anything, forming good habits from the start is much easier than trying to break and replace bad habits later. Teaching children age-appropriate expectations is essential for children and parents. Good manners and understanding the rationale behind rules of etiquette establish a foundation of kindness, respect, honesty, empathy, responsibility, and gratitude through mindfulness. It’s never too early to start teaching manners to your children and rest assured; it’s also never too late. Either way, we are here to help!
Parents have shared that bringing in an objective third party has been the catalyst needed for change. Children tend to listen when information is validated by an outsider. It’s not unlike hiring a math tutor, piano teacher, or acting or batting coach. The “expert” can make tweaks and suggestions that aid in the knowledge and know-how of good manners and etiquette. The approach is genuine and considerate of each child’s strengths and challenges. We aim to educate, empower, and elevate every parent and child.
Please know whether we work with you or not, you will NEVER regret modeling, explaining, teaching, and persisting in raising your children with manners. You will have an impact on your child’s social and emotional intelligence. And borrow my certainty, one day in the future, they will recognize and appreciate your efforts to encourage a manners mindset.
