- Table Manners – Practice at home. Have your child set the table (boys and girls) this is how I got my very first start. Then be sure the entire family sits down to dinner together.
- Napkin goes on the lap.
- Help your child to properly use the utensils.
- Keep elbows off the table (except in between courses).
- Pass food around the table to the right.
- Take small bites, chew with their mouth closed, and DON’T talk with food in their mouth.
- Include your child in dinner conversation and keep it positive and fun.
