Animal Etiquette for Kids: The Lost Art of Mannerisms  

As you know, you will be responsible for caring for your new pet. However, there are a few good ways to introduce the responsibility of taking care of your pet with your kids. One way is to have them help you split the pet chores. Have them feed the animal in the morning or evening, or have them fill the water bowl. If they are older, kids have them share in cleaning up after or playing with the pet. With everyone sharing the work, the pet enjoys being part of the family even more.

Politeness is spoken worldwide and in every language, whether in public or private. The simplicity of kindness teaches that everyone matters in this world. These three children’s books (“Please, Thank You and Excuse Me,” “Listen, Share, and Be Nice,” and “Animal Etiquette for Kids”) are lighthearted and geared for all ages. Mannerisms must start somewhere, so why not parents, grandparents, teachers, friends, and caregivers show our children mutual respect for all people, places, and things?
