Table Manners -What,When and How

 

Tablemanners are etiquette norms that are followed while eating, and may involve the
use of utensils. Table etiquette are observed differently in different
cultures. Each family or community establishes its own guidelines for how tightly
these laws must be adhered to.

At juniordps childrenlearn this etiquette in the best preschool in India. 

Now we canlook at the table manners taught by the best preschool franchise in India - 

Every mealprovides an opportunity for children to practice basic etiquette. Little
children can learn how to be respectful and exhibit table manners by using
their utensils properly and waiting until everyone has been served.

Yourchildren will eventually grasp the concept if you are patient and consistent in
your training.

Here aresome simple lessons we at best playschool teach your children-

1-Bringclean hands and a clean face to the table.

Teach yourkids to clean up before dinner. This not only shows respect for the person who
made the meal as well as the other guests at the dinner table, but it is also a
good hygiene practice.

2-Before youeat, wait until everyone has been served.

Teach yourchild to wait until everyone is seated and served before starting to eat. It is
impolite to begin eating before everyone has been seated. Dinner is supposed to
be shared with others.

3-Close yourmouth and chew

Two basicrules of good table manners are chewing with your mouth closed and not talking
when your mouth is full. If your youngster forgets, gently remind them.

4- Avoidstuffing your mouth with food.

Teach youryoungster to take little nibbles and not to eat their food in one sitting.

Puttingtheir fork down between bites is one way they can cultivate this habit. They
can even chew while putting their hands in their lap.

5-Alwaysremember to be courteous.

If they askfor seconds or for someone to pass something to them, they should say
"please" after the request.

They shouldalso express gratitude to the person who made the food and anyone who served
them.

6- Utensilsand napkins should be used.

Childrenshould be discouraged from eating with their hands, with a few exceptions such
as pizza and hamburgers, especially if they have progressed beyond finger
foods. Show them how to correctly handle their fork.

In addition,encourage them to keep a napkin in their lap and to wipe their hands and mouth
with it rather than their clothes.

As we haveseen how juniordps teach good table manners to their children but juniordps havealso another side.

What isthe importance of table manners - 

Manners areessential in today's society. They make it easier for us to be civil to one
another. Because a person who pays attention to their manners knows how to act

At thetable, table manners are more important than anywhere else. Table etiquette
keeps diners from being messy, disrespectful, or obnoxious. They aid in the
communication of respect to both hosts and visitors. Table manners are not
rigid rules, but rather helpful recommendations in our social interactions.

Manners aresomething that is practiced on a daily basis in order to make a positive impact
on others and to feel good about oneself. Good manners are crucial no matter
