Product Description
Have you ever cringed at the sight of your four-year-old waltzing through the neighbor’s front door without an invitation? Have you ever had to call to apologize when your six-year-old forgot to thank his grandmother for the birthday gift she so lovingly sent? How about the formal dinner for Dad’s promotion when your ten-year-old decided that she didn’t like the meal she’d ordered, and then refused to eat a thing—making for an uncomfortable evening for you, the other guests, and the waiter? As a parent, you’ve probably experienced these and many more instances when it seemed that your children had forgotten their manners completely, leaving you frazzled and embarrassed.
Sheryl Eberly’s 365 Manners Kids Should Know gives clever and insightful advice for the myriad of situations where consideration counts, but is sometimes forgotten. Using her smart one-manner-a-day format, parents, grandparents, and even aunts and uncles can find practical ways to teach basic manners, such as:
* How to address elders when being introduced
* How to write a thank-you note
* The polite way to answer the telephone
* How to accept and decline an invitation
* What is expected at formal occasions such as weddings, funerals, and religious services
Full of role-playing exercises, games, and other activities that parents can do with their children, 365 Manners Kids Should Know helps parents and other caregivers understand not only what manners to teach, but also how—and at what ages—to present them. Most important, 365 Manners Kids Should Know makes learning manners fun.

 Great Book For A Pre-Teen! November 26, 2008
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!
A wonderful handbook for any parent! June 27, 2008
This jewel has everything in it on manners and is easy to read with any child. While some may find things a bit old fashioned, good manners are never out of style! Any adult reading this along with a child will take note to address some missing manners in their own world. It is wise to remember that manners are such an asset to any child since we prepare them for most everything else in life! This book makes suggested good manners seem less like mom or dad preaching and more the way of our world. Ann Clarke, author of People Are So Different! based on tolerance and understanding of others.

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!
