“Manners are a sensitive awareness of the feelings of others.  If you have that awareness, you have good manners, no matter which fork you use”.  ~Emily Post

 

Etiquette Classes for Ages 7-12 and Teens

Introducing for 2008 Fantastic New Workbooks for Children and Teens!

P’s and Q’s® offer an excellent opportunity to reinforce education of proper etiquette and good manners, as well as strengthen the ability to interact with others. Our interactive classes teach courtesy, respect and sensitivity for others through role-playing exercises, activities and illustrated handouts. Our classes work with the parents to build a solid foundation for proper etiquette that will last a lifetime.

“Possessing good manners helps children build confidence, increase self-esteem, improve communication skills, make friends, and create a positive impression on others.” 

Upon completion students will receive their certificate in the area of social etiquette, communication etiquette, or table manners.

Depending on the session offered, a sit down formal instructional lunch will be provided and the following topics will be covered:
