Children’s Mannerly Costume Soiree (Party)!
Have your child come dressed as their favorite prince, princess or dressy costume and let the “Queen of Mannerly Hearts” teach them manners through a creative role play party, including, music, games and refreshments. Children will have so much fun; they won’t even realize they are learning and reinforcing social skills at the same time! Through participation in this activity parental goals and behavior expectations will be formally supported and emphasized, thus, enabling younger children to be more ready to recognize the importance and value of manners. Children also become more comfortable, self-confident, and willing to use more positive mannerly behavior in real-life situations as they grow. Ages 5-8.
