Many children between ages 5-13 do not know what the expected behaviors are for social settings and so they lack self-restraint and self-confidence. Etiquette training offers an excellent solution towards ensuring your child’s social success.

Indicators of inadequate social skills:

• Children misbehaving at home, at school or in public
• Children showing disrespect for parents, elders or others
• Children having tantrums and acting out of control
• Children using ineffective communication skills such as yelling, baby-talk, name-calling, or being overly shy and avoiding conversation
• Children who do not share toys
• Children who focus on themselves and “I”, “me” and “mine”
• Children who do not help without being asked or told
• Children who do not take care of their things, e.g., keeping clean and neat

The training offered at In Good Company helps build character, confidence, and courtesy. We don’t just teach the correct behavior, we explain “why” good behavior is necessary—and the consequences of bad manners. Our trainers are ICTC certified.

Hey, Mr. Nice Guy!
