Table Manners

Table manners are more than about proper eating. It’s about being kind and considerate to others. Children need coaching and remainders on table manners throughout their childhood. It is best to give positive reinforcement.

We at Firstep wish to inculcate this healthy habit in children right from the beginning. The following points were discussed with the children during their lunch break, with a class demo. Washing hands before eating is most important. Other aspects:

1.     Eating with a fork. 

2.   Place your napkin on your lap. 

3.     Chew with mouth closed.

4.     Sit up straight in your chair. 

5.   Do not shovel…. Eat slow.

6.   Do not put your elbows on the table. 

7.   Do not talk with food in your mouth. 

8.   Don’t chew the food with noise. 

9.     Always say thank you for your meal.

Children enjoyed and felt a sense of achievement.
