~ (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Studies show that kids who are well mannered are more confident and successful and have better relationships. What parent doesn't crave that for their child? In Taming Your Family Zoo, Donna Jones shows parents, teachers, and child-care providers how to raise well-mannered children and promises results in less than six weeks. From training a two-year-old to say "please" to the more knotty issue of talking with a teenage boy about his treatment of girls, Jones unfolds step-by-step techniques for teaching manners. Jones also teaches parents how to instill a love for God and for others, and encourages them to grab hold of every teachable moment they can to show their children something they can use the rest of their lives.

5.0 out of 5 stars I don't even have kids and I loved it!, February 8, 2006

By	Sue Thompson (Wilmington, DE USA) - See all my reviews

This is a delightful book. I got it for a friend who has four children and read it through before giving it as a gift. It is thoughtful, engaging, humorous, and filled with the importance of communicating love when teaching children. It seems sometimes it's almost a lost concept into today's world to instill kids with the understanding that we do not wish offend others intentionally and so we must consider our behavior! I gave it to my friend with confidence that she would find it helpful and informative.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very well written and easy to read, March 15, 2008

By	First Lady of Long Beach (Long Beach, CA) - See all my reviews

She covers EVERYTHING. I think it will take more than 6 weeks though! I love how the book is divided into 2 parts - the first part being for the parent. She really does cover everything, not just table manners. I wish everyone, with or without children, would read this book.
