As children grow through adolescence into their teenage years, they are faced with increasing demands and confusing expectations. There is little guidance as to how to behave in the adult world. Through interactive programs and role-playing, students from ages 8 to 17 will learn key life skills and build their self-confidence while focusing on topics including:

Social and Communication skills
Self-esteem
Handshaking
Introductions
Self-respect and respect for others
Conversation and Listening skills
Telephone etiquette
Proper etiquette in public places

 

Just like adults, young people want to feel comfortable and self-assured in social situations. Yet they find that, seemingly any way they turn, there are social situations in which they are unsure how to behave. Dining situations, in particular, present challenges.

Mills Etiquette Services has created a fun, highly interactive program that teaches everything that young people need to know about dining but did not even know to ask. An illustrated workbook and role-playing demonstrate the right way to dine.   Programs are available with and without dining tutorials.

Topics include:

Expectations of host and guest
The ABC's of table manners
Handling napkins
Handling silverware
The etiquette of dining out
Difficult-to-eat foods
Do's and don'ts of dining
Thank you notes
