Book Reviews of 365 Manners Kids Should Know: Games, Activities, and Other Fun Ways to Help Children Learn Etiquette
Book Review: Excellent Comprehensive Guide
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
