NESP
Children are the leaders of tomorrow. Present them with the opportunity to feel self-reliant and confident in any social situation by taking interactive lessons taught by a certified etiquette consultant. Our lessons aim to instill social consideration and mutual respect as we believe that when children are taught these basic social skills in their early years, they tend to become more socially responsible as they grow up. To survive the rising social pressure, children must be trained in a way to feel confident and comfortable around people and to find their place in the world.

Topics Include:
The Importance of Greeting Others
Rules of Introduction
The Handshake, Eye Contact & the Power of a Smile
Sportsmanship Etiquette
Hygiene and Appearance
Self-Respect and Respect for others
Behaving Appropriately at Other People’s Homes
Making Appropriate Conversation
Proper Telephone Etiquette
Gift Receiving Etiquette
Writing Thank You Notes and & Other Modern Manners
