Etiquette for Teens

Video Transcript

"My name is Gabriela Garzon and I work with G.G. Image and Etiquette Consulting in Miami, Florida. In this clip we are going to talk about etiquette for teens. Etiquette teaching should begin early in childhood. It's never too early to teach your kids how to have good manners and be polite to other people. Not only unknown people but people in your own family. Children should already know how to use the magic words such as thank you, excuse me, I'm sorry and they should be able to apologize when they are doing something wrong. Either if it's with siblings or other, other members of the family or neighbors or people that you just don't know. All children by the time they are teenagers, should have certain amounts of knowledge of good manners. They should be able to say hi, hello, a simple good morning or good afternoon is fine. And by now they should be able to be considerate to others and also know when to lend a hand when somebody needs it. All kids when they are teenagers is a very hard age to have good manners, but of course if you teach them from childhood, they will be able to have everything down the road with good manners. Again this is Gabriela Garzon with G.G. Image and Etiquette Consulting."
