Basic Table Manners to Teach Your Kids
1. 手和脸洗干净。《日常礼仪(Everyday Et)》一书的作者Patricia Rossi说，教孩子在饭前要洗手洗脸，保持干净整洁。这不仅是对做饭的人和用餐的人给与基本的尊重，也是一个很好的卫生习惯。
1. Come to the table with her hands and face clean.Teach your ch always to wash up before , says Patricia Rossi, author of Everyday Et. Not only does this show respect for the person who prepared the meal as well as others at the table, but it is also an healthy hygiene habit.
2. 随时乐于帮忙。无论在自己家吃饭还是别人家用餐，经常问问大人有哪些你力所能及的事情可以帮忙。
2. Always ask if there is anything you can do.Whether at home or someone else’s house, always ask the grown-up if you can help do anything to get ready for .
3. If setting the table, remember BMW.Ch who are ol to help set the table can remember where things go with this simple rule: BMW. Bread and milk go on the left an on the right. They can also remember where s goes by the number of letters in the words “left” and “right,” says Rossi. The fork goes on the left and has four letters. The knife goes on the right and has five letters.
4. 在外做客就餐时，要明白先后次第。吃西餐时，等主人先打开餐巾铺在膝盖上后，再打开你的餐巾准备用餐。
4. Watch the host to see when you shoul your napkin.If she puts her napkin on her lap, that’s the signal for you to put your napkin on yours.
5. 等所有人就坐，再开始用餐。如果是吃西餐，需要等每个人的餐都上齐，再开始用餐。
5. Wait until everyone is serve eating. Tell your chil to begin eating until everyone is seated an.
6. 永远不要张着嘴嚼东西。闭上嘴咀嚼，食饭而不语，这是最基本的两条餐桌礼仪。
6. Never, ever chew with your mouth open. Chewing with your mouth closed and not talking when your mouth is full are two cardinal rules of goo manners.
7. 永远不要在嘴里塞过多食物。吃东西要小口，细嚼慢咽，不要狼吞虎咽。
7. Never stuff your mouth. Teach your child to take small bites an wolf down his food.
8. 别人说话时，不要打断。当大家在餐桌上聊天时，教孩子学会不抢话，轮到他发言时再发言。陪孩子们养成谈论新闻、朋友、生活学习情况等有趣话题的习惯。
8. Do not when someone else is talking.At the table, practice having your child wait their turn to speak when talking about their day or another subject. Get kids into the habit of talking about news, their friends, how school was, an subjects.
9. 永远不要伸手去够远处的东西。提醒孩子不要伸手越过桌子去拿盐瓶或其他东西。让孩子养成请人帮忙递东西的习惯。
9. Never reach to get something. Remind your chil to reach across the table to get salt or anything else he needs. Get her into the habit of asking table mates to pass something he needs.
10. 用餐后，餐巾放在椅子上，而不是桌上。如果用餐中途去洗手间，也要把餐巾放在椅子上，不要放到餐盘或桌上。
10. Put the napkin on the chair, not the table.Teach your chil to put her napkin on her chair if she needs to use the restroom. It shoul go on her plate or the table.
11. 用餐结束后，把椅子推回原位。这是一个非常好的习惯，也是有教养的表现，用过椅子要归位。
11. Always push his chair in when f. When he gets up from the table, he should push his chair back against the table.
12. 用餐完毕，自己收拾餐盘，并表达感谢。这是一个很好的习惯，如果孩子习惯在家里这样做，他也会自然而然地在外面这样做。在朋友家做客，向主人表达感谢，在餐馆就餐，用眼神和服务员说“谢谢”。Rossi说：“我们会鼓励孩子为自己点餐和表达感谢。“
12. Always pick up your plate and say thank you.This is an habit to get your child into at home because if it becomes a part of his routine, he will be more likely to do it when he is a guest in someone else’s home. If you are at a restaurant, teach your child to make eye contact with the waiter and say “thank you.” "We encourage our ch to order for themselves and say thank you,” says Rossi. “If they do not do it, they do not get .”
良好的餐桌礼仪，也是文明礼貌的一种体现，会让彼此的相处愉快舒畅。学会尊重他人，会令你收获意想不到的收获！
Goo manners, like goo in general, will be appreciated by people who come into contact with your child. Teach her that when she shows respect for others, she will get great things in return.
