52 Modern Manners for Today's Teens

Love this manners book for our kids, and its a great refresher for adults too. We keep it on the kitchen table and it has sparked so many great family conversations. Such a fun way to remind us how to work on our manners, kindness and respect for others. I would totally recommend getting this book for your family. Get a couple extra to give away as gifts.

Love this! I move it to be on our front table or in front of kitchen sink so it hits all 3 of our teens. I flip the page after someone talks about the topic or after a couple weeks. Great advice in quick examples!

This has led to great conversations with my kids. So glad I purchased

We love this book! It is digestible with thorough, but quick tips. My teens have learned so many people skills without me having to nag them about manners.

I hesitated to purchase this for a while because the price is a little high but it has been worth it to stimulate fruitful conversations with my children (one teen and two a bit younger). Happy with it!

I’m optimistic that having messages like “look people in the eyes when you’re talking with them,” and, “send a thank you note, or at least a text when someone does nice something for you,” will sink in better than just my voice attempting to imprint on the smooth grey matter in the skulls of my tween/teen replacement set. We keep it out in the kitchen, so the sleepy eyes of cereal-munching kiddos will see it in the quiet morning moments. Accidental meditation? I’m ok with it. I like the fonts and displays, but the messages are spot on, simple, and phrased positively. I have not found any to be religious or preachy. These are simply basic human interaction skills that need to be conveyed, but aside from cotillion or finishing school are not part of the basic curriculum kids encounter today. I only wish I had discovered this while they were in diapers.

Great to put in the front of my classroom and have good conversations. Some things I’ve had to pass over, but great ideals!

Love it. Read with the kids!

Love love love this! It’s everything you’ve been trying to teach your kids about being an awesome human being. Each week is a well thought out and well worded synopsis of how to deal with both everyday situations and unpleasant situations teens find themselves in. We even keep it at the dinner table and take turns reading it. I especially like to read it when my kids have friends over just in case they need the advice too.

Honestly so good. A really easy way to openly talk to your children about how they should behave in certain situations, but without it being a lecture or a telling off. We have it on the table and a couple of times a week will turn the page and just have a family discussion. I love the format of it too, as you flip the pages the writing for the discussion topic is in the back of the previous page. It’s just really clever and we love it!

As a teacher, I have noticed changes in kids behaviours over the years and "Modern Manners" is a wonderful support to busy families to ensure that their children know how to behave politely. I love that these manners are simple but effective. The stand format of the book is an AMAZING idea! I sit this stand with a new manner each week on our buffet next to our dining table. The kids notice it and we don't have to spend a long time discussing the manner of the week. I also LOVE the TYPOGRAPHY of the manner pages. The font is sophisticated enough that I'm okay to leave it out on display, but the size differences and placements of the text make it stand out for the kids. This is a great resource. I have a teen and a preteen and it's hugely relevant for my boys today!

We keep it on the dining room table and take turns reading a lesson each week with our 13 year olds.

Quality paper and stand! Love that it is two sided with plain text on one side and a little more interesting font on the other so you can choose. Looks good enough to set on the coffee side table in my family room reminding the teens the tip for the week every time they pass it.
