Resources For Teaching Good Manners

[Guest]

This year I stumbled across the "Learning to Get Along" series by Cheri Meiners at our library and used the entire series for socials. They were a bit young for Adrian's reading level but worked well for what I wanted them for. I have found several books at our library to work on socials but have been looking for at least one good resource on good manners. Yes, we do work on that at home but I have found that things get through to my boy a lot better when they come through books. I would ideally like at least one book that he can read on his own, but a resource book with activities and games and such, would work well too :).

 

Any suggestions???

We played a game in a social skills group called "Blunders" that's all about teaching manners. My kids (10 and younger) enjoy it and have picked up a lot from it. If anything, I've dropped the ball by not playing it more often and more intentionally.

I like the book rec. above, too. Thanks!

I used this with my older kids when they were younger: http://www.amazon.com/Little-Book-Manners-Boys-Getting/dp/0736901280

 

I stumbled on this at my library and put it on hold when I noticed I wasn't getting replies. I couldn't see any preview pages but it had some decent reviews so I figured I would try it. Thank you, good to know you have used it :).

The game looks interesting too. Thank you! I just need to figure out where I can find it here (we are in Canada) :).
