Flowers? Candy? Breakfast in bed? These are all great ideas, but have you ever thought about giving the gift of manners for kids this Mother’s Day?

I know plenty of mothers (and grandmothers) who would love for their kids to learn (and continue to practice) good manners. Mother’s Day this year is Sunday, May 8 and the day before I’ll be teaching manners to about a dozen children ages 6 -12 at the Edison & Ford Winter Estates in Ft. Myers, Florida.

The class will begin at 11 a.m. where the children will learn the basics of good manners, handshakes, introductions, etc and then move through a three-course meal where they learn how to properly enjoy a meal without making a mess. The two-hour class provides children the opportunity to learn new skills while practicing their manners in a fun-filled environment. I’ve always believed Ralph Waldo Emerson’s quote: “Manners are the happy way of doing things.” I make sure the kids have a good time in the class while instilling the importance of good manners in school, at home, and in their future: careers, dating/marriage.

I think all moms would agree:  Kids who have manners make all moms happier. What better gift could mom want this Mother’s Day?

For more information about the class, please call 239-334-7419 or contact Merry Coffman at 239-335-3671.
