Lots of families today operate on the go with busy schedules, making it hard for meal time to be meaningful. Here are some tips for cultivating table manners even during busy times.
An interesting detail: I once saw an old (circa 1950s) instructional video on table etiquette for elementary-aged school children. An important part of this video was that children not only wash their hands before a meal, but comb their hair! I've taken this up in my day-to-day life. I slick back my hair with heavy pomade like a 1980s stockbroker, but before every major meal, I go to the restroom to make sure my hair is in-place and neat along with washing my hands. At home, I use a cloth napkin and try to follow etiquette as best as I can. I recently ordered some new china that I plan on using as my everyday dinnerware. Thank you for the fun read!
