Mind your Manners! - I find myself wanting to say this lately but slightly frustrated because Kate seemly oblivious about what I am talking about. Sure she know what generally is polite and not. We have had to work through ALOT of social situation that she was not comfortable with from the very beginning and she has come INCREDIBLY far.
Still there are so many thing that I don't even realize I expect but we have never gone over - because we had just never run into that situation before....
But there we are int he middle of a slightly awkward moment and Kate staring up at me like "What?"
So when I saw this book and thumbed thru it - I got a little excited. It's concise and has good explinations and funny little excerpts of what is not ok to do.
Most importantly it does not focus on being "good" or "perfect" but making people feel comfortable and at ease. It's just the right age for Kate and has situations she is running into like having friends over, being a flower girl or the dreaded family hug from that one person :)
It was a great jumping off point and we could read the page and then talk talk talk about things we might do in our lives.
This one book turned into a five day little series of manners lessons. Only she didn't know they were lessons because we dressed up in the play clothes and role played.
Bottom line: I really like this book.
