Etiquette for Children

The children of today are the adults of tomorrow. The tools to be an adult are learned before we become one.

"The training that produces an enchanting child is an adventure embarked upon with a friend who walks, hand in hand with the child--a comrade who smiling says, "Come, lets do this," or "Let's go there together!"

Emily Post

Children Are People, 1940

MY A,B,C'S OF ETIQUETTE

A=Awareness

B=Behavior

C=Consideration

Awareness

What are some examples? Does someone seem sad? Is there someone new in your class who hasn’t made friends yet?

Behavior

What is good behavior? Invite someone to join your group at

lunch. Step back and let someone else go first. Help your Mom

with the dishes. Use the magic words: Please and Thank you.

Consideration

What are ways you can be considerate? Use your quiet voice in

the library. Don’t interrupt when someone else is speaking.

Empty the trash without being asked? Keep shared spaces neat.
