Reviews

[Susan · Rating 3 out of 5]

I only read the beginning chapters, as my child is very young, thinking I could come back to it as she gets older. I liked the sensible suggestions about what is age-appropriate etiquette, but was truly annoyed at the extraneous material used as filler. If I need instruction on selecting infant gear, infant health issues, or other such questions, I'm not likely to turn to an etiquette book for the answers (or even remember that's where I saw the answers). I want my etiquette book to discuss etiquette--that's all--and not try to increase it's value with talking about choking hazards.

This book is broken down by years. So it's not something you'll want to sit down and read at once. Instead, it gives suggestions on how to instill good manners depending on the child's age. Some of it is common sense, but it's good to be reminded of nonetheless and helps parents know when a child might be ready to learn the next set of manners.

I thought this book would be better then it was. A lot of it just seemed like basic information and I was looking for more etiquette rules like her other books. There were several pages that I just scanned. Still a big fan of Peggy Post however!!

Nothing too new or great in this book but maybe that just means I already know a lot about good manners. =) Now if I could just help my children do those things...

I found this interesting and great food for thought. But, ultimately, too cumbersome for most people to ever want to make their way through.

Brilliantly organized by stages of development so it gives you practical advice on what kids can and should handle by age. Really hoping I can impart some of these lessons to my kids!
