Let’s break ETIQUETTE down—because sometimes, all we need is a fresh way to explain it to ourselves and our children. Here are 5 simple and relatable ways to define etiquette:
1. Etiquette is kindness in action — showing care through the way we speak, behave, and treat others.
2. Etiquette is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.
3. Etiquette is respect wrapped in good manners — it honors others and ourselves.
4. Etiquette is using ‘please,’ ‘thank you,’ and ‘excuse me’ without being reminded.
5. Etiquette is choosing calm over chaos when emotions rise.
As we raise our polished children, these simple definitions can help shape the conversations we have daily.
_Which of these stood out to you most? Or do you have your own beautiful way of defining etiquette?_
