Keeping an eye out for content that can support my lessons on empathy is important to me. So when I found Animal Etiquette for Kids I felt that it was a fantastic addition to my library! The book effectively teaches children about the proper care and treatment of animals in a way that is both fun and informative. Animals deserve the same respect that humans do! My kids (and myself) loved the colorful illustrations in the book.
In this book, you’ll find lessons on various scenarios you may encounter with an animal as well as basic (yet important!) ways to treat an animal well. Moreover, the discussion questions at the end of each chapter provide excellent opportunities for further exploration of the topic. I’ve noticed a positive impact on my kids’ attitudes towards our pets. It’s good to get kids thinking about these kinds of things, because if you don’t tell them, who can you expect to? It’s a must-have for parents looking to get their kids into some more critical thinking, as well as developing more compassion and respect for others.
Animal Etiquette for Kids: The Lost Art of Mannerisms
As you know, you will be responsible for caring for your new pet. However, there are a few good ways to introduce the responsibility of taking care of your pet with your kids. One way is to have them help you 
split the pet chores. Have them feed the animal in the morning or evening, or have them fill the water bowl. If they are older kids, have them share in cleaning up after or playing with the pet. With everyone sharing the work, the pet enjoys being part of the family even more.
Politeness is spoken worldwide and in every language, whether in public or private. The simplicity of kindness teaches that everyone matters in this world. These three children’s books (Please, Thank You and Excuse Me, Listen, Share, and Be Nice, and Animal Etiquette for Kids) are lighthearted and geared for all ages. Mannerisms must start somewhere, so why not parents, grandparents, teachers, friends, and caregivers show our children mutual respect for all people, places, and things?
This series of children’s books is a fun way to re-introduce manners into your children’s lives. It’s cool to be polite and kind to everyone. Learn more by visiting www.thelostartofmannerisms.com
