***While this class appears “Sold Out”, REGISTRATION for this ONE TIME WORKSHOP opens on Sunday, July 12 at 5:00 pm**

In this SPECIAL class, Amy will help your child enter new environments with confidence as she teaches them the 5 components of a POSITIVE first impression. In addition, she will talk about friendship skills as we begin a new school year. And if that’s not enough, we will discuss how to be a helpful member of a family and how to show initiative in the mornings before school. Each child will leave with printable reminders of the lesson AND a gift for their teacher on the first day of school! Once registered, Amy will reach out to each parent for input as she customizes each child’s “initiative checklist”!

Amy is thrilled to introduce her “Mini Manners” classes for 4K/5K boys and girls! These classes are ONE TIME interactive classes and will meet for 45 minutes in Amy’s home. Each mini manners class will focus on a single topic. You’ll receive a printed resource to help with “at home” practice!

August Topic Focus: Interacting with a Grown Up (eye contact, strong voice, friendly words, confidence and a smile). Each child will have the opportunity to practice these elements when meeting someone new.

September Topic Focus: Being Good Friends at school or on a playground. We will practice including others by inviting others to play in existing groups., and we’ll also practice approaching groups and asking to join.

October Topic Focus: ***Halloween Fun*** We will practice complimenting our friends’ Halloween costumes, saying “thank you” after receiving trick-or-treat candy, and answering in a clear strong voice when someone speaks to us.

November Topic Focus: Tiny Turkey Table Manners. We will focus on FIVE easy ways to show good manners at the table.

December Topic Focus: Gratitude Each child will have the opportunity to practice opening a gift and "stretching their thank you". We will practice eye contact and saying "thank you" in a more meaningful way. We will end with a game to see who can say "thank you" before being reminded! 

Class dates will be announced at the end of July. If you’d like to be notified when class dates are released, please send your email address to Amy at etiquettewithamyrainer@gmail.com.

This is a great place for your child to begin, but it is also a great class to take if your child missed the foundational classes. This class has a “Junior” version (recommended for 5-7 year olds) and a “Senior version” (recommended for 8-10 year olds). During this 3 week session, Amy will focus on some of the very basics of polite behavior and helpful attitudes! Boys and girls will learn how to make a good first impression, how to be a good friend, how to be helpful and how to be a grateful receiver of gifts and compliments. The senior version will add in important topics like practicing kindness in everyday situations, using good manners in sports, and the importance of learning how to write a meaningful thank you note. Children will learn all of these things in an interactive environment where each child has an opportunity to role play desired behaviors. Each child will leave with a take home card highlighting some of the topics discussed so that parents can follow up with more discussion at home each week. Checklists are included so children can monitor their own progress.

This class can be adjusted for boys and girls ages 5-10 and is a great choice, as the content is relevant for all elementary students!

CLASS OFFERED FOR GENTLEMEN IN GRADES 5-7

This session will focus on fine tuning some of the table manners that were taught in "The Perfect Gentleman" courses.

During the second week of this session, students will join Amy for dinner in a white tablecloth restaurant where instruction can take place in an authentic environment.

Once your group has been accepted for a space in Amy’s program, the group will decide whether you’d prefer 2 separate days of instruction or a one time workshop. Due to the busy schedules of these little gentleman, the exact dates are scheduled the month before the class.
