I have been a nanny for years, and in general I have always been around children throughout my life. I understand the importance of instilling good manners and responsibility in children from a young age. It is never too early! Animal Etiquette for Kids by Ashley Chadwick is just one book in a series called The Lost Art of Mannerisms. These books aim to teach kids about the importance of kindness, manners and responsibility.
I want to talk specifically about Animal Etiquette for Kids here. This book is a valuable resource that I frequently use in my work. It offers practical advice on caring for pets, which is important to teach a child before they’re given a pet of their own. The book also emphasizes the significance of respect towards animals. The language used is clear and easy for children to understand without losing any of it’s educational significance. It really is an easy and excellent way to teach an important life lesson. I love this book as well as the others from the Lost Art of Mannerisms series and I recommend this book to anyone who is a child guardian; nannies, parents, and caregivers who want to nurture kindness in their children.
Animal Etiquette for Kids: The Lost Art of Mannerisms
As you know, you will be responsible for caring for your new pet. However, there are a few good ways to introduce the responsibility of taking care of your pet with your kids. One way is to have them help you 
split the pet chores. Have them feed the animal in the morning or evening, or have them fill the water bowl. If they are older kids, have them share in cleaning up after or playing with the pet. With everyone sharing the work, the pet enjoys being part of the family even more.
Politeness is spoken worldwide and in every language, whether in public or private. The simplicity of kindness teaches that everyone matters in this world. These three children’s books (Please, Thank You and Excuse Me, Listen, Share, and Be Nice, and Animal Etiquette for Kids) are lighthearted and geared for all ages. Mannerisms must start somewhere, so why not parents, grandparents, teachers, friends, and caregivers show our children mutual respect for all people, places, and things?
This series of children’s books is a fun way to re-introduce manners into your children’s lives. It’s cool to be polite and kind to everyone. Learn more by visiting www.thelostartofmannerisms.com
