Teaching good manners is hard but with Strawberry Shortcake's help, it's a piece of cake!
Strawberry
Shortcake’s Berry Best Manners for Kids Guide
Strawberry
Shortcake: Berry Friends Forever on DVD March 5
When the very formal Berry Bitty
Buggy Derby is revived, the girls are unfamiliar with the traditional behavior
for the event. Blueberry starts off as the resident expert, but eventually gets
so obsessed with manners she does more harm than good. In the end, the girls
work together and learn the true meaning of being BFF's or Berry Friends
Forever.
This feature will highlight some of
the “berry” best manners that Strawberry and Blueberry would approve of! Your
kids will learn how to be on their "berry" best behavior everyday
with this fun guide!
Keep Your Elbows Off
the Table
While the origin of this table manner
is still up for debate, it’s “berry” polite to keep your elbows off the table
while eating! Resting your elbows on the table while you eat makes you prone to
accidental spills and other mishaps, while remembering to keep your elbows off
the table ensures that food, utensils, and drinks remain on the table and out
of your lap!
Always Use Your “Inside
Voice”
It’s easy to get excited when talking
about something you love and are excited about, or when having fun with your
berry best friends, but it’s important to always use your “inside voice.” If
you’re invited to a formal event like the Berry Bitty Buggy Derby like
Strawberry and her pals are, you’d have to do your best to not yell to show
your excitement!
Always Use “Please” and
“Thank you”
Always remember to say, “please”
before asking for something, and “thank you” when someone does something to
help you. Using “please” and “thank you” isn’t just a way to be polite when
asking for something, but it’s also a nice way to decline someone’s offer.
Let’s say a friend offers you a snack at their house, but you’re allergic to
the food – what do you say? “No, thank you!”
Knock
Before Entering
If someone has the door to their bedroom, the bathroom, etc. closed, you should always knock and ask for permission to come in before entering. In general, people shut doors when they don’t want company, so if you want to be on your “berry” best behavior, you should always knock!
Chew
With Your Mouth Closed
No matter how yummy your food is,
always remember that those you’re eating with don’t want to see your chewed
food hanging out of your mouth! Even though everyone enjoys tasty food, it’s
important to chew food with your mouth closed so that you don’t accidentally
gross out your dining companions. Chewing with your mouth closed also helps you
keep from dropping chewed food on your clothes and the table. Another “berry”
good tip: don’t talk with your mouth full of food either – it’s considered
polite to finish chewing and then speak!
