Do You Want to Nerd Out on Etiquette: Then Watch This Interview
Sarah Davis, Ed.D. and Evie Granville, M.Ed.
A new book, Modern Manners for Moms and Dads: Practical Parenting Solutions for Sticky Social Situations is being released this week. This is a must read for those of us that have a passion for teaching manners to children.
I am thrilled I had the chance to interview the authors yesterday. They are smart and savvy moms that share real-life experiences in their new book.
This is not your grandmothers etiquette book. Their book deals with issues on guiding young children in today’s hectic and ever-changing world.
From birthday parties to how to ask children if it is ok to post their pictures on social media, all the questions you ponder as a soon-to-be etiquette expert are answered.
And some of their answers may surprise you.
Take time to make a latte or a cup of tea and enjoy as I interview them about all things sticky when out and about in daily life with young children.
Yes, we get a bit nerdy about social skills but I promise you will learn so much that you can share with children, parents and teachers.

What is the Difference Between Manners To Go and The American Academy of Etiquette?
Naming your business is one of the first items on our agenda.Some of you come to me with the decision made others need a bit of assistance.
Trust me, I have caught many mistakes over the years.
Let me explain the names I have for my business.
The American Academy of Etiquette, Inc. is the parent name to my business.The business is incorporated.I chose to do it this way when I launched in Dallas, Texas years ago.
Soon thereafter, I created Manners To Go to cater to those who want to teach life skills to children.
Although I started teaching manners “live” to students, Manners To Go actually was launched as an activity kit.My first order was from a local toy store, the second purchase order was from Neiman Marcus.

There is no overhead.What I mean by this is you do not need a space (brick and mortar) to start teaching nor do you need to purchase or manufacture inventory.
To get started, you need a comprehensive curriculum and a go getter attitude.
Overwhelm keeps you stuck.
Clarity comes with starting the process. We all learn by doing.

Let’s dive deep into this one.Elegance may not be exactly what you think.
I will start off this way….this is what elegance is NOT…
Elegance is NOT a stuffy, judgmental, pretentious display of high society anda snobby mindset.
So, what is an elegant state of mind?
Ahh… now this is what I like to ponder and observe.
I would like to offer my experience and observation on elegance because I have been studying this for a very long time.
Let’s go to the positive side of ELEGANCE.
Elegance stems from the latin word elegantia (sounds lovely). It means taste and refinement.
Here are my observations and notes so far on elegance:
Elegance is not about having a lot of money but is a mindset.To have a mindset of elegance you must be hyper-aware.
This type of mindset is kind and refined.It is not about judgement but inclusion. Being mindfully elegant is about speaking and making eye-contact daily with everyone.
Elegance is dressing the part and being true to yourself.If you choose to be the most well-dressed in the room, then own it. You do not have to pull yourself back to join in with the crowd.
Elegance is about being polished in your own style, posture and your manner with others. How you treat yourself and others matter.
Handle yourself with dignity and self-respect always.Trust me, you will feel better.
Elegance is about being selective and choosing quality over quantity everyday.
Elegance is showing an interest in others.
Elegance is knowing who you can trust.
Elegance is choosing not to spew your troubles into the world.Remember, to be selective.
Elegance is walking into a room or the grocery store knowing your value.

Manners and Etiquette Certification: Start Before You are Ready
Today’s article is about you.It is about overcoming the doubt.It is that voice in your head that is telling you, you are are not ready.
How many times have you started something before you are ready?
I have.Actually, I started the Manners To Go certification before I was ready.That’s right.The many requests added up.Finally, one day a potential licensee called to inquire.And the rest is history.
I licensed her before the program/curriculum was ready.
Sometimes, we all need a little nudge every now and then.
That one nudge was life changing for me.
Think about something you have been wanting to do.What would happen if you said yes to it?
Life is so much more exhilarating and rich when you are participating and not standing on the sidelines watching everyone else have fun.
Come join in!
Trust me, this journey is rewarding in many ways.Yes, you get to share a part of yourself….but it is more than that.
