We implemented this into our homeschool weekly routine and everyone has been loving it. We’ve only been using this manners book for two weeks but have already referenced it multiple times each day and keep it on our shelf to see easily.
Great way to engage the kids - like the "What would you do questions?" to enforce the manners being discussed.
I love it. Gives so many lessons to your kids that you may have otherwise forgotten to mention. Great resource to be proactive!
Everything is great, wish the authors name wasn't on the front so that it would look better on the table.
I absolutely love the book. My five year old granddaughter enjoys discussing the the lessons as well. This book is very timely for a modern society that seems to have misplaced its civility and manners.
Very well written and aligned with the Biblical morals I am hoping and trying to cultivate in my daughters (ages 7 and 5). I tend to get off on tangents and also am a detail oriented person so sometimes when I’m trying to talk to them about these issues, I can ramble or it comes across more like lecturing than just conversational. This tool has given me a great way to succinctly and effectively talk about these important topics while also providing a way to apply them by doing the activity type role-play questions that go with each topic. Highly recommend to all families! I’m even learning where I need to come up higher or be more cognizant of my own manners and what I am modeling for my kids!
We're only a couple weeks in but love this so far! It brings up things I want to discuss with the kids but don't always remember to. We're doing one a week, and they're excited to turn the page and find out what the next one says. It brings good discussion to the supper table and hopefully it will be something the kids remember when they're in tough situations!
Love it and it’s helpful
My whole family of 6 has been enjoying using this book to talk about manners and social skills at dinner time. We love that there are different things to role play for each different manner.
So practical! These are the things you HOPE your teen learns as they’re maturing. Many human interaction skills that so many mss these days because we’re locked on screens. Opens discussion for teen and parent to ge to know each other better. REALLY like it!
Our family loves this book. The children look forward to the new lesson every Monday evening at dinner. I love how this book has suggestions & practice scenarios for the lessons, as well!
Love the content! I have started using it with my 3rd grade class and it is awesome! Love that there are practice activities for the daily lesson!
So amazing. My kids ask to do it. Great lessons
This has been a great tool to engage my children in learning manners. It’s more of an experience than me just nagging. Recommend for your littles.
I plan to use this with my 4th graders this year. Love the format.
Great for all of us to know these manners!
My kids are engaged and remember the topics we are learning with this resource. Just the other day, my 6 year old remembered not to interrupt me as I was visiting with a friend. The prompts for role playing are great.
The cover was a little bent; you may need more padding when packaging.
I enjoyed this with my grandkids, it’s our routine at lunchtime this summer, we pray before we eat our lunch and then we read one of these reminders for manners
My littles are enjoying the discussions.
This is terrific and very applicable for my kids!
Practical lessons with concise phrasing. We love the scenarios and the "why". We turn the page every Sunday and dinner, and the kids are always begging to turn it sooner. One of my favorite family purchases.
Perfect content for my 3 and 7 year old boys.
Excellent content
Really love the book and the conversations it brings up. However, shipping took a VERY long time. This wasn't a huge issue for us, but may be for some.
Love the size, wish the paper was a bit thicker so it doesn’t rip. Excited to use it!
I was roped in scrolling on Facebook and am so glad I was. We’re on lesson 5 with my 3 boys ages 4, 6 and 7, and they’ve all been engaged. Great lessons and reminders for these kiddos (and parents). Raise them kind, love this reinforcement and dinner chats.
Perfect for my 8 year old daughter
Perfect book for little ones to learn important manners. A+++++++
Love it! The kids are interested. I love how it sits on the counter.
I love the format and simplicity of this product. Will be using in my home as well as my classroom.
Very well made and easy to discuss with my 7 year old and teen. Highly recommend
