Table manners are not only important to adults but for children as well. It is best to teach them how to carry themselves in front of the dinner table early on in their lives as they will be carrying these lessons and habits through their adult life. It will also make your life easier when you bring them to dinner parties and other special occasions.
Children in their young age are used to throwing food around. This should be discouraged at all times. Have a firm but gentle voice when disciplining your children so that they will learn the lesson without scaring them. They also have a habit of being loud and yelling at the top of their voices while eating their meals. Do not encourage this type of behavior so as to instill in them the proper way of conducting themselves in front of a meal. The best thing that you can do is to set an example for them. Children imitate what they see from adults, especially from their parents. If you are practicing good table manners, your children will surely pick up on your manners.
Teaching Children Table Manners
A good way to practice table manners would be to use your Child Tables and Chairs. You can let your children eat their snacks here so that they will know how to conduct themselves. You can teach them how to use the spoon, fork and table napkins. They will surely enjoy this activity. Always give them praises when you see them perform well; this will encourage them to keep doing the same thing over and over again. At this point you can also teach them the value of washing their hands before and after meals. This is very important as children are known to always touch different things that catch their curiosity. And they also have the habit of putting their hands in their mouth.

Written by Walter Hoving, former chairman of Tiffany’s of New York, it is a step-by-step introduction to all the basics, from the moment the meal begins (“It is customary for the young man to help the young lady on his right to be seated”) to the time it ends (“Remember that a dinner party is not a funeral, nor has your hostess invited you because she thinks you are in dire need of food. You’re there to be entertaining”). In addition to the essentials about silverware, service, and sociability, it includes many of the fine points, too—the correct way to hold a fish fork, how to eat an artichoke properly, and, best of all, how to be a gracious dining companion.
