“I have always been a big believer in practicing what you preach, and Marie-Chantal is doing just that. Her elegance
and strength is something we all can aspire to and I know there are invaluable lessons to be learned with her guidance.”
—TORY BURCH, FOREWORD
THE GO-TO HANDBOOK FOR PARENTS ON PROPER etiquette for children – an indispensable parenting bible for the modern world. The founder of a successful children’s clothing line, author of an influential parenting blog, and mother of five children, Marie-Chantal of Greece is con-stantly asked how she manages to do it all. So many of these queries – about proper etiquette for children in our fast paced, technology-centered world – led her to recognize the need for a modern handbook on children’s manners. Manners Begin at Breakfast addresses rules of etiquette, including table manners, social media, fashion dos and don’ts, and party conversation. Cov-ering children from infants to teens, it is an essential guide for all parents keen to raise polite, well-rounded children, equipped to thrive in society and develop into confident, successful adults. Illustrated with charming, specially commissioned watercolors, featuring a foreword by designer Tory Burch and an introduction by leading pediatri-cian Dr. Perri Klass, and written in a lively, conversational style, it is certain to become a perennial must-have parental resource.
MANNERS BEGIN AT BREAKFASTMODERN ETIQUETTE FOR FAMILIES
by Princess Marie-Chantal of Greece
“To say that manners begin at breakfast is to say that every day should
begin with an effort to treat one another politely. It’s also to say that
thinking about manners and behavior begins when children are very
young, in the early morning of their lives, and that parents have the
great joy—and great responsibility—of being there from the beginning,
to help their children learn and grow."
