Etiquette Lessons: Girls & Boys at the Table Children and Youth Ages 5-12 Teens at the Table Young Adults Ages 13-19

Teresa Kathryn Grisinger Reilly is a seventh-generation American writer, portrait artist, and graduate of the University of Oregon. She studied Art History at the Museum of Art and Tufts University in Boston and is currently working on a Masters Degree in Arts & Education. She believes that every child's ethnic heritage is woven into America's tablecloth, that traditions in fine dining bond us together and that we can strengthen and preserve our culture by teaching etiquette, good manners and ballroom dance in America's classrooms. She lives with her husband and two children in Florida on the Gulf of Mexico. "Ours is the practical and natural approach to etiquette training. Young people study these lessons gaining confidence and skill together. They soon begin to conform to the roles of ladies and gentlemen at the table. We strive to prepare our students to dine capably and independently. We review and reinforce good manners taught at home adding nuances of fine dining etiquette. This system of dining and social behavior creates opportunities for each graduate's best traits to shine through." Teresa Kathryn Grisinger Reilly
