Gain enthusiasm & ideas for expanding your child

Revisado: 08-16-16

This well written resource uses graceful prose and a positive voice to comprehensively cover a full range of topics related to etiquette. And it actually moves beyond standard etiquette like table manners to include an expansive scope of useful areas like making conversation, how to dress and even traveling and social media.

Each chapter covers a different topic and addresses that topic for a variety of child ages. Within the chapter, a plethora of creative ideas for activities fitting each age is suggested. Wonderful, original tasks and tools are put forth, interwoven in the pages.

I liked the use of a quote to setup each chapter. And the author provides many ideas, followed by actual examples to better illustrate her point. I think the book would be improved in practicality by organizing the content within chapters by age a bit more and providing subheadings that lead you to the age-specific areas.

Because it was so content heavy, it was a book that I needed to listen to in more than one sitting. But the narrator was perfect for the subject matter. Her voice was kind and very pleasant, making it easy to take in much information.

This thoughtful and enjoyable book offers great value but it is not for everyone as it makes the assumption that parents have significant amounts of time and means to spend on their children. But if you are fortunate enough to fall into this category, this book will leave you with a renewed interest to expand your child’s upbringing and a surplus of creative ideas to draw on.
