Children who have good manners are more likeable, comfortable and confident. However, they often need to hear from a third party that manners matter in order to start practicing them. Clise Etiquette teaches and reinforces the manners and social skills your children need to succeed socially, and later, professionally. Your children will learn important skills that help them to be poised, polished and polite whether they are interacting with adults or peers.
