The term etiquette often brings up images of people at fancy parties. There is the idea that the whole concept is about knowing what type of fork to eat with. However it is also about knowing how to behave properly in social situations. This is something that is not always easy for children. This does not necessarily mean they are badly behaved just that they need guidance and this is where etiquette classes for kids can help.

The first part of teaching children is to be a good example yourself. It is easy to forget this when you are in a social situation. If you do not use a napkin during a meal or do not say please and thank you then it can be very hard to then expect your child to do the same!

This is not meant to stigmatise children. Indeed this can be very dangerous because if a child is labelled as rude or acting up then they are likely to respond to this. This type of behaviour is referred to as self fulfilling prophecy and needs to be avoided as much as possible. Once they stop caring then it can be very difficult to get them to behave after this.

The idea behind a class is to get children thinking about different social situations. Over time they can then become more confident and learn about the appropriate reaction to these social situations. In effect it is about getting them to think for themselves about how to best address people, hold a conversation and so forth.

A class ought to be around 10 children if possible. It is possible to book larger ones but this can result in children getting less attention. Ideally you want as much one to one tuition with the children to help them gain confidence and learn more about appropriate behaviour.

It can also help them to deal with the more awkward situations that can occur. For example if you go round to a friend and their parents serve food they do not like they need to think carefully. Saying they do not like something in a rude manner can be very embarrassing. With a class they can learn to refuse food politely in a way that will not offend people. It sounds obvious but with children this is not always something they are necessarily aware of.

If you are an organisation looking to do this for a school then you may be worried about the cost involved. However it is possible to reduce costs by including sponsors on the information handed out. This can also include a certificate congratulating the child on passing the etiquette course, something that they will be happy to show off once the lessons are over!

The important thing to emphasise about etiquette classes for kids is that it is not about making them feel bad or singling them out. It is about them learning how to adapt in typical situations that will occur during meal times and in public places, something that will benefit them in the long term and ultimately make them feel more confident in social situations when they grow up. Look online to find courses in your local area and compare the various options available to you.
