Giving the Gift of Manners

Dec 14, 2014 | Experts Corner

a special feature from Kay & Leslie, founders of Grandparentslink

There’s no better time than the holiday season to help children learn a little bit more about manners! What better way than to give children their very own Thank-You Cards.  Manners are always in season, so consider this a year-round gift of love. The path to politeness is made easy with these ingenious traceable ‘thank-you’ notes from Letter Learning. No matter what the occasion, children can practice manners and handwriting all in one. Sending a note of gratitude couldn’t be easier.

Or, why not give a book on manners?

For children ages 4-8, there are entertaining books, such as:

Interrupting Chicken By David Ezra Stein

https://www.amazon.com/Interrupting-Chicken-David-Ezra-Stein/dp/0763641685

Mind Your Manners, B. B. Wolf by Judy Sierra

https://www.amazon.com/Mind-Your-Manners-B-B-Wolf/dp/0375835326

And for the older set, take a look at:

365 Manners Kids Should Know by Sheryl Eberly

https://www.amazon.com/365-Manners-Kids-Should-Know/dp/0307888258

How Rude!: The Teenagers’ Guide to Good Manners, Proper Behavior, and Not Grossing People Out by Alex J. Packer, Ph.D

https://www.amazon.com/How-Rude-Teenagers-Behavior-Grossing/dp/1575420244

Teach love, generosity, good manners and some of that will drift from the classroom to the home and who knows, the children will be educating the parents.

Great Reads on Grandparenting and Understanding Children

Becoming a grandparent is one of those magical moments in life—an opportunity to pass down wisdom, tradition, and hard-won experience.

After all, we need to grow with our grandchildren. Whether the situation is ‘new grandparenting’ or you just want to understand more, the best way is to read—or at least to have the right reference materials on hand. These books will ensure you’re ready for whatever your grandkids throw at you—literally, and in a pinch they can be used to decorate your bookshelves. Ha!

a few tips and reminders can only be helpful!

Ah, the winter holiday season, time for ugly-sweater wearing, high calorie intakes (!!), party hosting, and fumbling for the proper greeting. We do love this time of year, even when holiday etiquette can get confusing.
