Etiquette for Little Folks

A practical handbook of rules and maxims teaching young children proper conduct in daily settings. It presents concise dos and don'ts for behavior at home, at table, among peers, in school, at church, and in public, emphasizing reverence toward parents and elders, cleanliness, silence, temperance, and respectful speech. The guidance covers specific actions such as washing before meals, waiting to be served, refraining from interrupting, and showing consideration for servants and others, alongside exhortations to patience, modesty, and gentle correction of companions. Instructions are organized by context and framed as direct rules aimed at forming habitual polite behavior.
