365 Manners Kids Should Know: Games, Activities, and Other Fun Ways to Help Children Learn Etiquette

I bought this for my 12 year daughter and she has learned much from this book already. Each days entry is short, sweet and to the point. Great for kids!

Very useful book. As I was not taught manners growing up, I was unsure how to begin to train myself and my daughter good manners. This book gives wonderful guidance and many helpful hints. Highly recommend.

This is a fantastic book for teaching kids manners AND for helping them through tricky situations they may encounter.
I stumbled across this book in the local library and had to buy it because it was packed with information. The kids enjoy the activities and learning 'new' manners.
A must have!

365 Manners Kids Should Know is the best comprehensive guide to children's manners I've found. The calendar entries are arranged under 23 sections, among them "Getting Along With Other Kids," "Table Manners Made Easy," and "Be a Guest and Host." This is a parent's book, meant to be used as a teaching guide, perhaps read to the child one entry per day, though I think it would be more useful to focus on certain sections when approaching an event: "Gifts--Giving and Getting" when attending or hosting a party; "Vacation Time" before taking off somewhere. Practical activities are sprinkled throughout the text, such as helping your child read the movie page in the newspaper, or making a card to celebrate a friend's religious holiday. The tone is cordial but businesslike, with none of the false gaiety so common to books on children's manners. What's more, I found entries I haven't found in other books such as acknowledging another's presence when s/he enters the room; giving compliments; and positive use of humor. The writer runs her own company presenting manners instruction seminars to children, young adults, and businesspeople. Her instructions show empathy for all parties involved, for the "others" with whom the child will be associating, and for the child himself.

This is a great book for both kids and adults. You can learn so much from itand whats even greater is that its a day by day book. you could read one page oryou can even skip around like I do and it shows you some great activities to do wih your kids to encourage their good manners. This book talks about manners for both young kids all the way through young adulthood. Its very simple to understand and fun to read! I recommend this book for everyone.
