In August, the founder of A – The Etiquette Consultancy debuted The Kindness Academy, a series of courses created uniquely for children and centred around a philosophy that kindness is at the heart of good manners. “When children are taught to be kind and considerate, they will innately understand etiquette, which is vital for a child’s later success, socially and professionally,” she says.
“I’m a big believer that etiquette should start at home with the introduction and repetition of the magic words ‘please’ and ‘thank you’, so children hear these words early on.”
