Etiquette Courses for Youth

All courses are customized according to the client’s needs, intended outcomes, and goals. Examples are shared below.

Etiquette Basics for children

Learning about how to treat others with respect and kindness, as well as behaviors expected when meeting new people or having a special meal, is an excellent foundation for children. Courses are built around age appropriate discussions of how to greet others, how to handle yourself in a dining environment, and other basics of interacting with both new people, friends, and family.

Etiquette Essentials for Teens

As children grow into adolescence, they experience more opportunities to meet others, interact with people from different backgrounds, and participate in new activities such as interviewing for a job or attending special events. Courses provide them with information about appropriate handshakes and eye contact, good (and bad) topics of conversation, how to introduce themselves and others, understanding dress codes, and conveying gratitude through thank you notes.

Dining Etiquette for Children or Teens

Dining, especially in a formal situation, can cause nervousness for people of any age, and learning what to expect can relieve much of that anxiety. Courses provide age appropriate instruction on handling utensils, understanding place settings, how to be seated and deal with your napkin, what to do if you encounter an unfamiliar food, and more.
