Children’s Etiquette for Today
A Solid Foundation for Practicing Good Manners and Etiquette
It is never too early to begin learning the social graces. Confident, well-mannered children know the importance of consideration and respect, and demonstrate the concepts of fitting social behavior with their peers and adults.
Good manners and social skills do not happen automatically, they must be taught and practiced just as one would practice baseball or playing the piano.
Empower your child with The Manners Advantage!

"I very much enjoyed both your company and presentation. The number of questions you elicited from the students shows that your presentation was directly on point to their needs; I have never been to a presentation on campus that sparked so many organic questions. Look forward to working with you again."

"The event was an absolute hit! I wish you both could have heard the feedback this afternoon…. I think half of Bright House Networks now understands professional dining etiquette. The interns were very excited, and I’m so happy to hear them discussing it within their individual departments. I appreciate your time and effort today – the branded slides were great. Wonderful job!"
- Morgan Huettel, Digital Recruitment Operations Specialist, Bright House Networks
"Thank you very much, especially for your flexibility. Your topic and presentation were spot on! As Nick indicated, these soft skills are often overlooked, and so important in the real/business world. I'm sure we'll get on your calendar for our next junior class. "

"Thank you. Maggie LOVED the class, and you will be happy to know that George liked the class (especially the candy). He has been very proud to stand at my chair and say, 'May I?' as he pulls my chair out and pushes it in. He is so proud. Maggie has been the manners police and is not letting him forget a thing. Clearly you have done a fabulous job!"
"Maya enjoyed the class. She has been correcting her little brother on a few things...so she was obviously paying attention! Thanks!!!"

“We are so pleased with all that Andrew learned from the Manners Advantage classes he attended. Going into the program, Andrew had plenty of home instruction on manners, but it was practicing them amongst friends in the Manners Advantage’s fun and social setting that really made them sink in. He always enjoyed going to the classes, and improved with each one. What a joy it is to see the teachings in practice!”
"Fun class! The boys are picking up some good manners. Thank you!"
“My son thoroughly enjoyed this class. He looked forward to it every week!”
