As early as now, get your children used to these valuable lessons. Remind them that good manners are there to show other people you are considerate of their feelings.
Even if they don't like the food being served, they should be careful not to say anything about it that might hurt the host.
Kids maybe hungry, but remind them not to cram their mouths full of food-they could choke.
They should keep their mouth closed while chewing and not talk when they have food in their mouth.
Wait until everyone has gotten food before eating as a sign of respect.
If they need to pick something out of their teeth, they should excuse themselves and go to the bathroom.
If they want something that's accross the table, they can just say "Can you please pass the _____? Instead of reaching accross the table.
Whenever eating at someone's home or as a guest of someone at a restaurant, they should always thank the host and tell them what they enjoyed about the meal..
