Manners Matter is dedicated to the education and practice of good manners for children and young adults.
WHY MANNERS MATTER
The main concept of manners is to display kindness and consideration to others.
People respond positively to those who are gracious to them and who treat them with respect.
As Clarence Thomas US Supreme Judge court said:
“Good manners will open doors that the best education cannot.”
Children, teenagers, and adults are expected to thrive in a very competitive world.
If they use good manners, they will be set apart from others, therefore creating an
everlasting positive impression.
MY COURSES
Manners Matter offers parents the opportunity to expose children and teenagers to the world of good manners and etiquette in small, private and custom classes.
The program offers opportunities for children to learn the fundamentals of good manners, and the importance of kindness and respect for others in a fun learning environment, with interactive learning exercises. These include role-playing, hands-on interactive and visual activities.
Research shows that children and teenagers are more receptive to learn proper manners when instruction comes from an outside source.
Classes can be individually structured for schools, classrooms, playgroups or parties.
