    I bought this book as I work in a children's home and we have families staying with us all the time. This book is a gentle but firm guide reminding children to use manners. It has stories with a 'moral of the story' part at the end and a 'try at home' challenge
    It covers a huge range of topics like being kind, saying please and thankyou, telling the truth etc. But it also focuses on things like how to stop whining and giving good eye contact when people are talking to you. The challenges and ideas are very effective and they work!
    This book can be used in any situation - playground, home, school and in group scenarios as each lesson is short.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Heartwarming Guide to Kindness, Respect, and Everyday Integrity for Kids!
    Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2025

    Modern Manners for Kids by Laura Bella is a delightful and meaningful read that every parent, teacher, or caregiver will appreciate having on their shelf. It goes far beyond simple etiquette and dives into the heart of what really matters—kindness, respect, and integrity.
    The stories are engaging, age-appropriate, and easy for children to relate to. Each tale highlights everyday situations that kids encounter—like helping at home, being patient with siblings, or making thoughtful choices at school—and gently illustrates how small acts of kindness and honesty can make a big difference.
    What truly sets this book apart is its emphasis on integrity—doing the right thing even when no one is watching. That message is powerful and timeless, and it's woven beautifully into each story. The “moral of the story” sections at the end of each chapter offer thoughtful reflections and open the door for great family or classroom discussions.
    The tone is encouraging and positive, never preachy. It empowers children to become not only well-mannered but also good-hearted individuals who treat others with compassion and empathy.
    Whether you're reading this together at bedtime or giving it as a gift to a young reader, Modern Manners for Kids is more than a book—it's a tool for building character, one story at a time. Highly recommended for kids ages 5–10 and the grown-ups who want to raise them well!
