6. Use the Dinner Table
There are many lessons that can be taught at the dinner table, and manners are a huge one. Not only are you teaching meal manners, such as not putting feet on the table or talking with your mouth full, but also courteously accepting food given to them and helping clean up. How embarrassing would it be if your kids rejected food when they were at a friends house for dinner, or left their plate without offering to help clean up? Teach manners at home so they take it with them out into the world!
