Texting, IMing, and going out with friends all involve etiquette. Cindy Post Senning, Ed.D. and Peggy Post explain that etiquette is about building and strengthening relationships—not putting your pinky in the air when you drink tea. Cindy and Peggy also give the straight scoop on mealtimes, cell phones, e-mail, letter writing, dating, the prom, and how to say ‘no’ and still stay friends.
Cindy and Peggy reinforce the message of personal choice throughout Teen Manners to emphasize that teens can manage social interactions to their advantage. They show teens how manners smooth the way and that one of life’s most valuable tools is really all about honesty, respect and consideration— values that benefit everyone everyday.
