Miss Manners' Guide to Rearing Perfect Children by Judith Martin
3.0
Please note, I write these reviews for fun, and for the people on my list. So these are very personal and probably not universal reviews unless you intersect with me in some way on a personal level.
I liked it, but would have preferred a more distilled version with more specifics. I read through gleaning bits. As always, I enjoy her manner of address. But it wasn't quite what I needed as a guide. I'm seeking some more etiquette books for the boys and I'd like ones that they can read too, with specific guidelines outside of "say please and thank you." Things we work on in our house, not crossing between two people who are talking. How to listen to adult conversation at a formal dinner or gathering and when to ask questions. What is the appropriateness of using their screened devices and when. How to order in a restaurant, how to ask for help or directions, etc. Would love any referrals.
