Benefits of Good Manners and Proper Etiquette

Did you know that the benefits of good manners and proper etiquette, can be the determining factor in your child’s success. Students have been prepared academically, to get into the best schools, and parents spend thousands of dollars on enrichment activities such as sports and music, but not enrichment classes in etiquette. A child’s tool box of success should also include social and business etiquette, preparing students to be successful in school, in the business world and any social setting. An  individual success is based on 85 % of their social skills and only 15% of their technical skills.
