Sam Sifton, Food Editor for the New York Times states, “Kids are awesome, and they should be a part of the dining experience,” says Sifton. “Anytime we go t a restaurant, we are entering into a social contract with everyone else in the restaurant. I’m not trying to ruin your good time, and you’re not trying to ruin mine. It’s important to model that behavior, so kids can accept the social contract and have a good time.” Introducing your child to proper table manners and dining etiquette today can help build their confidence in any social settings tomorrow! Topics Include: Approaching and seating at the table, The napkin and its uses, understanding place setting, How to correctly hold silverware, The bread & butter plate, The soup course, Proper use of silverware, American and Continental styles of dining. Passing food at the table, What to do with unwanted food, Appropriate table conversation, Excusing yourself from the table, Other table manners & much more.
