As they transition into adulthood, many teens find perfecting etiquette becomes increasingly useful in their social lives. And yet, dining etiquette isn’t necessarily taught in schools or always practiced at home due to busy schedules, eating out and various other reasons. Learning proper dining etiquette as a teenager sets the stage for future interviews, social events and internships teens will experience in a few years.
What passed for “good” dining etiquette when your child was 8 years old isn’t likely to pass as a teenager. Cutting and chewing food should be done thoughtfully and graciously. Your teen should cut and eat one piece of food at a time and wait until he’s finished swallowing before drinking from his/her glass. Carefully scoop small morsels on a plate with a knife and fork or gently pierce the food with fork spears rather than stabbing or scooping the meal from the plate.
Your parents probably often remind you to say “Please,” “Excuse me,” and “Thank you,” but did you know that there are lots of other social rules that you should be aware of? By far, the most important thing to guide your manners is the “Golden rule”: Treat others as you would want to be treated.
By minding your manners, your friends and other kids will look up to you, and adults will be impressed with your maturity.
