With good cheer and from a standpoint of “we”, The Etiquette of Kindness – It’s Not Just About the Right Fork is a lively, useful guide to Skills and Courtesies for Our Time -- A Manual for Young People (and Others!).

The Etiquette of Kindness is fulfilling its mission: that of being not only a book, but a down-to-earth, kindness-based national movement bringing door-opening, opportunity-creating kindness-in-action skills to young people in schools and homes across the country.

In twenty illustrated and well laid out chapters, The Etiquette of Kindness brings teaching/sharing plans for young people and the adults – teachers, friends, parents, family members – who love them; who want to help them to be more skillful and to feel more comfortable in their daily lives. The Etiquette of Kindness is especially dedicated to kids around the ages of 9-16 who face many questions and deeply personal concerns and fears about fitting in as they move from childhood out into the world as young adults.

The Etiquette of Kindness springs from the author’s passion for teaching young people of varying personalities and backgrounds door-opening, confidence-making skills to help them in their lives today and in their futures tomorrow!

For more than fourteen years, Suzanne-Marie English has taught these opportunity-making skills in classrooms with 6th, 7th and 8th graders where all the information is shared from the standpoint of “we” and of kindness-in-action! It is her delight to see young people happily gain greater self-confidence as they learn skills and catch fire with kindness!
