Your Charming Child provides etiquette education to children ages 4 through 7 and ages 8 through 12.  Studies have shown that children are more open to etiquette instruction when taught by someone other than a parent. Also, at a younger age, they are more receptive to learning and retaining what they have learned. 

One definition of charming is "having a trait imparting the power of pleasing or fascinating." Pleasing, delightful, winning, engaging, amicable, friendly, gracious are all synonyms of charming. People can be born with an outgoing personality, but this alone does not get them far if they are also impolite or egocentric.

Fortunately, one can acquire good manners and charm through learning. Possessing good manners and excellent social skills is surely part of the process of becoming well-liked.  However, it is more than just knowing to say “please” and “thank you.”  Knowing how to behave properly in various situations and to communicate with confidence will allow your child to make a good impression on others.  Learning why it is so important to behave certain ways really gets to the heart of how to be a conscientious and moral human being. It will teach empathy and help your child to actually connect with others' feelings, something that is lacking today, unfortunately.

And, learning what not to do is just as essential.  This invaluable information will build your child’s self-esteem throughout his/her life leading to success in school, the workplace, and social settings.  Having these tools will encourage your child to be more respectful and helpful at home as well.  We strive to make learning fun through demonstrations and role playing and we keep our classes small for more individual attention.
