Lessons children remember
Every week Miss Manners brings a new topic to life with our puppets. A few favourites:
Not a cultural programme. A life programme.
Manners4Minors is a fun, interactive way of introducing young children to the benefits of behaving well and using manners that are universally accepted.
Miss Manners, as the teacher of the programme is known, shows children that behaving well means being liked by your teachers, accepted by your friends and having a better chance in life. A well-mannered child who becomes a well-mannered adult has an enormous advantage over their peers.
and internationally
What we do
Manners4Minors is offered nationally and internationally by schools as a co-curricular or extra-mural programme, every week.
Our mission
Simply put, Manners4Minors exists to help create a foundation for more socially successful children.
Our vision
To be the global thought leader and teacher of the real-world values and principles that make up a socially successful society.
Surely manners are taught at home?
When we looked at why a programme like this was so well received by children, parents and schools, the answer was simple: lifestyle. The places where these skills were once handed over naturally, like family dinners and Sunday get-togethers, have become rarer.
a week, at school
We attach feeling to information
Miss Manners gives one weekly half-hour lesson at schools. She is fun, interactive, optimistic and caring, and passionate about positively affecting every child she meets.
She shows children the reaction they can expect when they use the good manner or life skill being presented, and the reaction when they don’t. Children leave knowing the choice they have and the consequence. If they make the wrong choice, they know better: we have created conscience.
What does bragging feel like? Do we like it? What does being proud feel like? The most common words spoken by a Miss Manners: “And, how does that make us feel?”
