Thanksgiving Etiquette Tips for Kids

Etiquette, November holidays, Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving dinner gives your child the chance to show off the good manners they've been learning. Here are some tips that will make your child a welcome guest at any dinner.
- When you are served your meal, always say thank you.
- Wait for everyone at the table to have food before you eat.
- Chew with your mouth closed.
- Eat with a fork unless the food is meant to be eaten with fingers.
- Don't stuff your mouth full of food. It's a choking hazard.
- Ask that items be passed to you. No grabbing across the table. And don't forget the "please and thank you"
- If you don't like something, don't eat it. Either say "no thank you" or put some on your plate and don't eat it. Don't say "Eeww! I don't like that." You don't want to hurt the chef's feelings
- Try to eat slowly. The meal is just as much about eating together as it is about eating.
- Keep your napkin on your lap. Only use it to dab your mouth or to wipe your fingers. If you need a tissue, excuse yourself from the table.
- Do not pick anything out of your teeth. Excuse yourself from the table and go to the restroom if you must pick.
- Always say thank you to the host for dinner. If you particularly liked something, be sure to say so. The host will like knowing you enjoyed yourself.
