Pack Your Child's Toolbox With the Right Soft Skills

Children, Tweens and Teens

Course Introduction:

As parents, we want our kids to be confident, kind, and successful - and social etiquette is an essential foundation for achieving these goals! These classes will teach the most crucial social skills and table manners every kid should know. But here's the thing: learning about social etiquette isn't just a nicety - it's a necessity!

This online class will give your child the how (the practical tips and techniques) to navigate complex social situations with confidence, and the why (understanding the importance of social etiquette in building strong relationships and achieving success). By teaching students the necessary skills but also explaining the "why", we're empowering them to be kind, respectful, and thoughtful friends, family members, and colleagues - because at the end of the day, it's not just about getting by, it's about thriving!

Young Peoples 1:1 Program

✓ Social Etiquette – Students will engage in confidence-building activities designed to enhance emotional intelligence. They will develop a deeper understanding of first impressions, body language, effective conversations, and delivering polished presentations.

✓ Correspondence Etiquette – Students will learn the art of composing thoughtful letters and invitations, as well as mastering the etiquette of telephone, email, and texting communication. The class will emphasise the importance of clarity, tone, and professionalism across all forms of correspondence, resulting in polished and effective communication skills.

✓ Dining Etiquette – Students will learn how to confidently navigate the dining table and practice proper mealtime etiquette. They will master the art of setting a place, using various pieces of dinnerware correctly, and understanding the importance of good manners, resulting in refined dining skills.

✓ Communication Etiquette – Using etiquette in communication is important because it shows respect, and consideration for others. It helps build strong, positive relationships by creating clear and courteous interactions, reducing misunderstandings, and making a lasting impression.
