Storytime! That's Bad Manners, Roys Bedoys - Read Aloud Children's Books

Summary

Roys Bedoys makes several manners mistakes before learning how to behave more considerately in public.

Main lessons

• Be considerate in shared spaces: Don’t fart in an elevator, where other people are nearby.
• Ask politely: Instead of yelling for water at a restaurant, say, “May I please have a glass of water?”
• Follow restaurant manners:
  • Stay seated and wait rather than walking around and possibly bumping into a server.
  • Chew with your mouth closed.
  • Don’t talk with food in your mouth.
  • Don’t pick your nose.
  • Cover your mouth when you sneeze, or use a napkin.
• Be patient: Don’t yell that you want to go home just because you’ve finished eating. Wait until everyone else is ready.
• Push in your chair: This helps prevent someone from tripping over it.
