A one-a-day primer in good manners to help you teach your children proper etiquette
365 Manners Kids Should Know
by Sheryl Eberly
Why do today's children have such appallingly bad manners? One reason is that, for at least a generation, manners training in the home has been neglected; indeed, many parents have forgotten some basic rules of etiquette themselves. Now, Sheryl Eberly, a former White House aide to Nancy Reagan, gives parents an accessible plan for teaching (and learning!) good manners that begins in the home and covers every social situation and etiquette opportunity children will encounter. Far more than a simple rule book, 365 Manners Kids Should Know provides anecdotes, advice, and activities for turning rules into habits.
(continued from above)
Using Eberly's practical one-manner-a-day format, parents can teach such basic manners as:
"Please," "thank you," and "I'm sorry" * Addressing others properly * Giving and accepting compliments * Punctuality * Opening doors * Borrowing * Breaking items * Slamming doors * Neighborly manners * On the school bus * Interrupting * Changing the subject politely * When a friend loses a loved one * When a friend's parents are getting a divorce * Introductions * Remembering names * Standing to show respect * Answering the phone * Handling call waiting (yours and theirs) * Leaving a phone message * Swearing * Discussing money * Whispering * If someone is boring * Put-downs * Tone of voice * None-of-your-business questions (asking and answering) * Showing deference to older people * Thank-you notes * Everyday table manners * Formal table manners * Blowing on food * Grace: when you're visiting someone else * Passing food * Cutting meat * Utensils * Napkin etiquette * Second helpings * Removing items from your mouth * Eating soup * Foreign matter in food * Sitting and standing tall * Accepting/declining a date * Giving/receiving invitations * Movie manners * Restaurant protocol * Appointments * Church or religious services * Birthdays * Weddings * Funerals * Giving/receiving gifts * Travel etiquette * Being a Good Guest (or Host) * Good sportsmanship * National Anthem * Care of the U.S. flag * Relating to people with disabilities * Dress and Grooming * Sneezing * Gum chewing * Runny noses * HUNDREDS MORE!

My only complaint is that the book is too long. Thanks to Feminism and "Alva Myrdal" Socialism in the family courts, I'm "allowed" to have "visitation" with my son every other weekend. "Visitation" is a right we preserve for convicts, although neither convicted nor charged with any crime, that's how my government sees me. Consequently, I need a book entitled "54 Manners Kids Should Know".
