NEW YORK, NY – October, 2011 -- The holidays are approaching, and
families and friends will be gathering around the dinner table to
celebrate the important occasions of the year, Thanksgiving,
Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa. But before you go, here are some
tips to help your children have proper manners at the dinner table,
courtesy of Parents.com and Dallas Morning News Manners Expert Elise McVeigh.  McVeigh’s tips are part of her DVD, “Mrs. McVeigh’s Magnificent Manners Show,” out on DVD now.   She also the etiquette expert for “Barbie Princess Charm School.”  

Practice with your children as often as you can at the dinner table between now and the holidays:

•       Be seated at the table after the hostess (lady of the house) sits.

•       The napkin goes on your lap right after you sit.

•       Start eating after the hostess takes her first bite.

•       Practice cutting and holding utensils.

•       Forks and knifes have a proper place to rest on the plate in
   between bites, and after the meal is finished.

•       Chew with your mouth shut.

•       Do not interrupt others when they are speaking.

•       Try everything on your plate.

•       Do not make negative comments about the food being served.

•       Do not asked to be excused or get up from the table until everyone
   is finished eating.

•       Thank the hostess for the meal when the meal is done.

•       Place the napkin nicely folded on the table to the left of the plate.
