How do you teach food manners to kids?

Answer by  TeresaE (381)

Kids learn mainly from example. Be sure they see you behaving properly at the table and talk to their parents about it as well. It's fine to scold them a little as well, remind them of the proper way to act. You could make it a game as well, if you think that would work.

Make it a game. As they eat, have them pretend they are dining with a king at a palace. Then instruct them in proper food manners without being overly critical.
