Oaks & Acorns has designed an intergenerational social skills program, which supports self esteem and allows children to feel confident in most social situations – especially those involved with eating etiquette. As children learn: Why Manners are Important; First Impressions: Introductions, Meeting and Greeting; Communicating with Confidence: Speaking and Listening skills; Table Setting: What Goes Where; Table Manners: Do’s and Dont's; Restaurant Etiquette; Body Language and Poise; Phone Manners and Thank You Letters – values are being instilled, they are learning from fabulous senior role models, and having fun as they learn!
The instructor, Alannah Sinclaire has trained under leading educator and international coach in etiquette and social skills, Maggie O’Farrill. In addition to developing courses that address social challenges for youth, O’Farrill has served a program director for her mother’s renowned finishing school, the Margarita O’Farrill Institute in Los Angeles.
Manners, etiquette and learning the “social graces” are vital life skills. As Maggie O’Farrill rightly points out, “You never know where you will be or to whom you will be speaking in life.” During the classes children understand the reasons and principles behind the social etiquette rules and the practice of good manners. In these safe, yet fast-paced, and interesting classes, students will be guided, supported and given the opportunity to connect with their elders while learning how eating matters.
