The founder of a successful children’s clothing line, author of an influential parenting blog, and mother of five children, Marie-Chantal of Greece is constantly asked how she manages to do it all. So many of these queries—about proper etiquette for children in our fast–paced, technology-centered world—led her to recognize the need for a modern handbook on children’s manners. First published in 2020, Manners Begin at Breakfast addresses rules of etiquette, including table manners, social media, fashion dos and don’ts, and party conversation. Covering children from infants to teens, it is an essential guide for all parents keen to raise polite, well-rounded children, equipped to thrive in society and develop into confident, successful adults. This updated edition adds new insights on parenting in a post-pandemic world. By popular demand, each chapter is now peppered with delightful anecdotes and personal stories from Marie-Chantal’s experience putting her own advice into practice. Adorned with charming, specially commissioned illustrations and a fresh updated introduction by leading pediatrician Dr. Perri Klass, Manners Begin at Breakfast is the quintessential guide to propriety for the modern family.

Steven I. ★★★★★

I picked this up mostly for the manners chapter and ended up reading the whole thing in two nights. As a mom of three, the practical tips on teaching kids to sit through a meal actually stuck, and the tone never feels preachy.

George V. ★★★★★

The author's voice feels like a friend who's actually raised five kids, not a lecturer. I picked it up for the breakfast-table chaos with my two and the practical tips on morning routines stuck with me more than expected.

Timothy ★★★★★

The chapter on table manners for toddlers actually worked on my four-year-old, which I didn't expect from a book written by a mother of five. It's practical rather than preachy, and the anecdotes about juggling a big family kept it from feeling like a lecture.
