Children and young adults

Emphasis is all too often placed solely on academic achievement as a gauge of success in adult life, forgetting the necessity of good communication, self-respect and respect for others, basic manners and etiquette and being HAPPY. Etiquette, British or otherwise, is often globally the differentiator between those with wider opportunities and those more limited. It spans all social and economic classes. Not just that, but an understanding of oneself, being able to handle stress and change and being able to control our mood, are the pillars of emotional intelligence, which, when combined with etiquette, can be powerful in improving the way we learn, think and behave. Giving children this gift of boosting their confidence and knowing how to behave in different situations can set them up for a life of opportunity and success. Learning manners and etiquette at a young age ensures it becomes second nature. All courses are inclusive, interactive and fun!

Young children

Knowing your child has the skills to behave properly in all manner of situations can be a weight off many parents’ shoulders. Being able to take children with you to social events, assured that their conduct will be appropriate, can really help strengthen family relationships, grow your child’s confidence, whilst enabling you to enjoy various social occasions without the need for a babysitter. For children, knowing how to behave instills self-confidence and security.
