Modern Manners for Children (Ages 8-15)

The Modern Manners program provides children the tools they need to navigate a complicated world with kindness, class, and confidence. This age appropriate program takes place over an elegant three-course meal and empowers children to elevate their behaviors to make others (and themselves) more comfortable.

Topics include:

• First impressions and introductions

• Greetings and handshakes

• Polite conversations and friendship

• How to speak to adults and other superiors

• Correspondence and phone manners

• How to be a great host and guest

• How to give and receive graciously

• How to be a good teammate, partner, and leader

• Dining etiquette, including handling and cutting food, place setting 101, polite table manners, how to handle tricky foods and so much more.

The dress code for this event is "Sunday Best" avoiding jeans, sweatpants and basball hats. Please walk your child into the main entrance of Metta + Moxie and a DAE member will greet you and show you where to go. Pick up will be in the same location at 3:00.
