We’ve had an abrupt and sudden need to revisit ‘Table Manners’ at our house. My seven-year old seems to have forgotten everything we’ve ever taught on the subject of chewing with your mouth closed. After nagging for several weeks, I came up with another angle: Fancy drink night!
Using pop, maraschino cherries, and cherry flavored syrup – I’ve started to whip up some good ol’ Shirley Temples. Amazing how a fancy glass and a fizzy beverage makes even the youngest of children feel grown-up – it also has given my dear child reason to act grown-up as well!
Cheers!
