Your peanut pitched a conniption after Grammy gave him new jammies for the holidays. You then promptly resolved to make this the Year of Better Manners.

(Right after you muttered a curse word or two under your own breath.)

Time for classes from The PoliteChild. Whether your kids’ behavior is a general mess or they don’t know their forks from their fingers, Corinne Gregory can help clean up their acts. Gregory’s been at it for years, spreading her know-how across the country. But lucky you, she’s based in our neck of the woods.

Get a group of tots together and head to a class or sign up for firm and effective one-on-one instruction. Either way, their behavior will be a reflection of you in no time.

After all, to the manners born.
