Kids Learn About Etiquette and Manners
Tampa, Florida - The concept of different
forks at a meal seems as foreign to some youngsters
as escargot, but Wanda Delarosa is taking a
stab at changing that.
"This is not how certain classes of
people live, knowing the proper fork or knowing
how to conduct themselves properly at the
dinner table, but it has to do with life
style," said DeLaRosa, founder of It's
All About Kids. DeLaRosa started It's All
About Kids to teach children the importance
of table etiquette, hygiene, and communication
skills. Students range in age from kindergarten
on up.
"There is such a great need for us
to come alongside parents and to encourage
kids to do the right thing and find value
in what they do," she said.
To learn, kids act out scenarios from the
right way to answer the phone to the problem
with double dipping chips, lessons that would
make any parent proud.
It's All About Kids partners with Macy's
to bring you Etiquette and Manners courses
for Kindergarten through 12th grade at the
Macy's in the University Mall. Multiple classes
will be held, focusing on a variety of topics.
It's All About Kids is now registering for
March, April and May classes! For more information
