365

I am on a constant quest to teach my children manners. In a world where manners are falling by the wayside, I feel an even deeper desire to teach them how to act and what to do and say in all sorts of situations.


For example, what do you do if someone is boring you? What is the proper etiquette for signing a yearbook? How about slamming doors? Is it OK to blow on your food? What about if there is a foreign object in your food or your food is rotten? Do my kids know the proper way to eat a shish-kabob? Have I taught them not only when to applaud, but how to applaud? Is there a right way to order from a menu and do they know it? How should they act in a funeral home? And last but not least, do they know the manners for having fresh breath?


There is so much I need to teach them and with this little gem all of the above and more will be covered.


Love this book.

One manner for every day of the year.

My kids will be prepared.

Prepared to eat that shish kabob without a hitch. Prepared to properly ask someone on a date. Prepared to act appropriately at the Orthodox Jewish wedding we just might be invited to. And obviously, prepared with extremely fresh breath every step of the way!
