When would a parent reach for this book? Reach for this guide when your child is facing a new social milestone, such as their first formal dinner, a birthday party with unfamiliar guests, or learning to use the telephone independently. This book focuses on the practical mechanics of social interaction, helping to transform 'social anxiety' into 'social agency' by providing clear, predictable scripts for behavior. While the 1978 publication date means some technology has evolved, the core emotional themes of empathy and respect remain timeless. Peggy Parish, famous for the Amelia Bedelia series, uses her signature clarity to demystify 'grown-up' rules. For children aged 6 to 9, this book serves as a confidence booster, removing the guesswork from etiquette and reinforcing the idea that good manners are simply a way to make other people feel comfortable and valued.
