“How To Eat A Brownie - Children’s Etiquette”
Well-mannered children have a lifelong advantage in job situations and in relationships. We start with introductions, shaking hands, and projecting confidence. We continue with conversation skills, family etiquette, what the “R” stands for in R.S.V.P., and writing memorable thank you notes.
