"Something that you're going to want to teach your children from the beginning is proper drinking edicate because believe me there are many ways that a child can take a very seemingly begniegn cup of water or juice and really reak havoc at a dinner. Whether it's at home or at a restaurant or you know at dinner with your boss's family. So be sure to teach them from the beginning that there is a right way to drink and to handle your glass. Obviously you have to clean your mouth before you actually take a sip of juice or water, whatever your drinking and be sure to tell them to go ahead and finish chewing and swallowing their food. You don't want any sort of back wash floating around in a glass and also you know, drinks are for drinking at the table and kids can get really creative when you add a straw into a cup. You teach your that, children blowing bubbles (while it's amusing at best) it really isn't acceptable or or polite and also you know, sucking a little bit of water into a straw and then shooting it across the table at their siblings also not a good idea, not acceptable and slurping really loudly isn't appropriate. You know there's sort of no brainer's but believe me kids will find so many uses for a drink that's put in front of them that you and I would even imagine. So just be sure that you teach them that there are a couple of rules that they are going to want to remember when they are drinking their beverage."
