<p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span lang="ES-VE" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="ES-VE" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Como padres estamos siempre preocupados por la
crianza de nuestros hijos.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="ES-VE" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Una de las preocupaciones más usuales, es la
que compete al comportamiento de nuestros niños tanto en el hogar, la escuela y
cuando asistimos a lugares públicos. Una parte integral del desarrollo de un
niño es su formación en destrezas sociales que se manifiestan con su
comportamiento y el uso de los buenos modales.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="ES-VE" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Conocer y practicar las reglas de etiqueta a
temprana edad, hará que los niños de manera mucho más fácil, logren hacer
amistades, compartir con sus compañeros de clases y ser respetuosos y amables
tanto con adultos como con sus amigos.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="ES-VE" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Los estudios demuestran que la falta de
formación en el área de etiqueta y buenos modales, y destrezas sociales en
general, conllevan a un resultado poco beneficioso para los niños, ya que les
inhibe en establecer relaciones armoniosas, tener desajustes en el colegio y
hasta fomentarle problemas emocionales de autoestima y hacerlos solitarios. Por
todas esas razones es de vital importancia ensenarles reglas básicas de
comportamiento desde temprana edad.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="ES-VE" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Saber saludar, despedirse, hacer contacto
visual con la persona con quien habla, compartir y cooperar en juegos y
actividades académicas y respetar personas, lugares y cosas, son destrezas que
ayudaran a los niños a ser exitosos en cualquier situación social en que se
encuentren.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="ES-VE" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Los estudios indican que los niños con una
sólida formación en buenos modales tienen mayores logros académicos y
personales. Entre los muchos beneficios a largo plazo está el que estos niños
son más propensos a graduarse del colegio, y menos propensos a hacer “bullying”
acoso, usar sustancias ilícitas y tener problemas con las autoridades.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="ES-VE" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Los padres, abuelos y educadores deben modelar
las conductas que desean de sus niños. Deben ser consistentes con lo que enseñan
para que los niños no se confundan respecto a la conducta esperada. Eso quiere
decir, que, si se le requiere seguir reglas relacionadas a su comportamiento en
lugares públicos, estás mismas reglas deben seguirse cotidianamente en el
hogar, de lo contrario no podemos esperar un comportamiento deseado.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="ES-VE" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Si solo se les exige permanecer sentado a la
mesa cuando están en un restaurante, pero en casa le permiten tirarse al piso y
jugar debajo de la mesa cuando la familia esta cenando, es imposible creer que
ese niño entenderá cuándo, dónde y cómo comportarse.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="ES-VE" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Modelar el comportamiento del uso del lenguaje
amable y respetuoso es también fundamental. Si el niño ve a sus padres decir
“gracias” y “por favor” en su interacción en el hogar, el no tardará mucho en
copiar y repetir ese comportamiento. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="ES-VE" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">El refuerzo positivo cuando el niño se comporta
correctamente es también sumamente valioso para motivar al niño a seguir las
normas indicadas y seguir las instrucciones que recibe. Una frase tan sencilla
como “Gracias por haber guardado tus juguetes al terminar de jugar con ellos”,
le refuerza el lenguaje amable, la norma de guardar sus cosas y cuidar de ellos
y fomenta su autoestima.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="ES-VE" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">A partir de los cuatro o cinco años ya los
niños aprender a jugar y compartir juguetes con amigos y es el momento adecuado
para enseñarles sobre la empatía y el control de nuestras emociones y entender
las emociones de los otros. Con ello aprenderán como sus acciones y palabras
afectan a los demás.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="ES-VE" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Para garantizarles un futuro feliz y exitoso a
nuestros niños, debemos recordar la importancia de enseñarles a socializar
demostrando respeto y amabilidad a todos los que le rodean.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="ES-VE" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">No solo hay que preocuparse por su aprendizaje
académico y deportivo, si no, también debemos prestar especial atención a su
desarrollo social brindándoles la oportunidad de aprender reglas de buenas
costumbres y destrezas sociales.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="ES-VE" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Puede ser que algunos padres sientan que no
tienen el tiempo o el conocimiento para lograr implementar estas destrezas
sociales en su hogar. A esos padres los motivo a buscar ayuda y asesoría bien
con la lectura de libros sobre etiqueta para niños o acercándose a un experto
en la materia que puede brindarle cursos y talleres especializados. Este
esfuerzo redundará en un marcado beneficio en la salud emocional y en las
relaciones interpersonales exitosas de sus hijos.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Para finalizar, les recomiendo mi libro "Etiquette for the Kids in your Life" lleno de acciones practicas para iniciar la ensenanza de buenos modales en el hogar.</span></p>

<p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-size: large;">September and October
are considered the Peak of Wedding Season in the United States. Therefore, it
is now a good time to have a short refresher on Wedding Etiquette if you are
invited to attend one.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-size: large;">Being invited to a wedding
is a fun and exciting event because you will be sharing a memorable day with a
family member or a dear friend. You are very much appreciated by at least one
member of the couple getting married, otherwise they would not have invited
you. Right!<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-size: large;">So, as their guest,
there are some basic etiquette rules that you must abide by in order to be a
good “Wedding guest”<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-size: large;">First of all, <b>read
the invitation, carefully.</b> It will have all the information you need to
navigate attending with the appropriate response, dress and attitude. This
means to be in the lookout for whom was the invitation addressed to. Does it
include your significant other, or your children? If they are not mentioned in
the envelope, then they are not invited. Pretty simple, so don’t make the
mistake of assuming that if they invited you, you can bring along others.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You cannot!<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Secondly, <b>RSVP
promptly. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Let me remind you that RSVP is
French “R</b></span><b><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">é</span></b><b><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">pondez S’il Vous Plait” and simply means Please Answer -</span></b><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">It is important that you reply as soon as you
can once you have confirmed that you are available to attend on the set date.
Couples are waiting for your reply in order to give headcounts, assign guest table
seating and all the details of the gifts for the attendees. It is basic
courtesy to confirm and then to show up. The only excuse not to go to the event
is a medical or family emergency and then you will let the couple know as soon
as you find out!<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lastly, for now I
remind you to <b>follow the couple’s</b> <b>Dress Code, </b>if indicated on the
invitation. If it has not been expressly stated, use your good judgement by considering
the venue and the time of day that the ceremony will take place.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-size: large;">There are many other
aspects to consider for a good guest but we will discuss them in a future blog.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-size: large;">Enjoy the wedding
season and always display your good manners. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In a world where meanness seems to be surrounding us and, therefore, our
children see too much of it, what can we do to raise kind kids?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The good thing to know is that
kindness can not only be modeled but also taught! <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">When we teach our children
social skills, we are teaching them the rules of behavior that we expect from
them, and they encompass treating others with kindness. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">What does that mean? How do
children understand and interpret those rules? Well they understand that being
kind includes not using mean words, not making fun of others, no pushing or
hurting siblings, friends or anyone for that matter.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Those are the no-nos, but the positive
outcomes of being kind have to do with having empathy and helping someone, giving
compliments, being thoughtful, standing up for others and definitely using their
magic words and smiling and greeting those around them!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Being kind makes kids better
people and when they are adults, they will reap benefits from it because it is
a fundamental skill to have personal success. It allows them to work well with
groups (team work) and to care about the needs of others. It will help them in
such basic activities as knowing how to behave as a guest at a formal dinner,
when and how to write a thank you note and how to kill that job interview!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">So as parents and educators,
lets devote some time to teaching kindness to the kids in our lives. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I end with a suggestion, if you have not read my book "Etiquette for the Kids in your Life" pick up a copy in Amazon. It provides you with time tested strategies to teach kindness and good manners to your kids.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_0zVaPRroukpDcx8-NTsJcOkiAbik5E4Mkk66T-WM-qQIknTQ5D8ugvBW4ar6RObgVzvSE4xC2O87bgmeIMCgoYq51P0I9hCM7ajFaymkY8rKuNxCnXEGh9yJMTGGG1PTcaNKyQYwRE9a1nxfydosiwfDMyug_ejboEQ3YMn-o5mCiNzuDIUeTjwTPw/s4032/EE%20Summer%20Camp%20Group.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_0zVaPRroukpDcx8-NTsJcOkiAbik5E4Mkk66T-WM-qQIknTQ5D8ugvBW4ar6RObgVzvSE4xC2O87bgmeIMCgoYq51P0I9hCM7ajFaymkY8rKuNxCnXEGh9yJMTGGG1PTcaNKyQYwRE9a1nxfydosiwfDMyug_ejboEQ3YMn-o5mCiNzuDIUeTjwTPw/s320/EE%20Summer%20Camp%20Group.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5OMZsdX_BI5awL-V1lrJkyCKKBYb92VSOtwLQDBfxPpAULukmJWJZsrkbAH0qKWRO2Kec-ktzvJd_mqIdrjbmAg_KLXs1N-bklIJzFup7mJtrArqVATRnqU5M9Kxdcif8UHRkAPuExf72fhGFFtfPB0x5Mb4Qu7v9oEW9iuuYhgqw1o6Omq2nvAt09w/s1024/Kids%20shaking%20hands.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="768" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5OMZsdX_BI5awL-V1lrJkyCKKBYb92VSOtwLQDBfxPpAULukmJWJZsrkbAH0qKWRO2Kec-ktzvJd_mqIdrjbmAg_KLXs1N-bklIJzFup7mJtrArqVATRnqU5M9Kxdcif8UHRkAPuExf72fhGFFtfPB0x5Mb4Qu7v9oEW9iuuYhgqw1o6Omq2nvAt09w/s320/Kids%20shaking%20hands.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNVmW1X8CTHME6-1unVX7-Nrdb1WLS942xeEu74uVPGLBwBjQgSPs46cmrTRjKOKgRJagabtDwpUgByuAuWwTSWvWKg170XcIxWmVtWsH84YnOPwOxUJ7LcdEXIFRz9pEvH9xf-Mr_8QLmLJ7y47GJaVqb7AWR9gm9ssjHR-6ZrzrOE9hKK9p-ALzBWw/s572/T&Y%20Tablemanners%20camp%20group.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="554" data-original-width="572" height="310" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNVmW1X8CTHME6-1unVX7-Nrdb1WLS942xeEu74uVPGLBwBjQgSPs46cmrTRjKOKgRJagabtDwpUgByuAuWwTSWvWKg170XcIxWmVtWsH84YnOPwOxUJ7LcdEXIFRz9pEvH9xf-Mr_8QLmLJ7y47GJaVqb7AWR9gm9ssjHR-6ZrzrOE9hKK9p-ALzBWw/s320/T&Y%20Tablemanners%20camp%20group.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span><p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">We are only a few days away
from Thanksgiving.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If this year is your
turn to be the hostess of this very much looked forward to family reunion, you
are probably feeling stressed out!.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Here are some very useful and
easy to follow tips to make you an excellent hostess while at the same time leaving
you time to enjoy yourself in the process and during the actual celebration and
meal.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">1-<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">RELAX- I know it
is easier said than done, but start by trying and giving yourself some “me time”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Whatever is your special time, don’t skip it
because you think you don’t have time. Pray, Meditate, exercise go for a run.
Whatever it is, DO IT!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It will guarantee you not feeling overwhelmed!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">2-<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">MENU – there is
not much to say about this topic, since it is usually a very traditional menu
expected at this festivity BUT what I must remind you is to not experiment with
a dish that you have never made before. It is not a day to be creative, but to
plan ahead and as much as possible, have everything done by the day before.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">3-<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">TABLE SETTING –
set the table down to the flowers and candles the night before. A well set
table can take you a couple of hours depending on how many guests you are
expecting, so do it also the day before. There is nothing more rewarding than
seeing your beautiful table all ready for the family and friends to arrive.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">4-<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">BAR – make sure
that you have the wines and hard licor or spirits that you are planning to serve
in the right amounts. A typical bottle of wine is 750 ml, and you should get 5 glasses from it. So do the math, depending on the number of guests! If you are planning to serve white wine with the meal
make sure that you have it in the refrigerator a couple of days before.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">5-<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">HELP – once your guests
arrive, accept if they offer to help you both in the kitchen and serving the
meal. Remember that this is a time for family and friends to make memories and
there is no better way than by enjoying the time together.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">6-<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">ENJOY – the Turkey
is ready to cut and the sweet potato casserole is filling the room with its
scent. Sit down, be grateful, share your blessings and enjoy this wonderful
moment of “Thanksgiving” with those you care.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b><span lang="ES-VE" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span lang="ES-VE" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">En este mes de
noviembre, celebramos en Estados Unidos el Dia de Acción De Gracias, el famoso
“Thanksgiving".<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span lang="ES-VE" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Con ese motivo oímos
muchos comentarios sobre la gratitud y es una buena oportunidad para entender
la importancia de la gratitud en la vida de nuestros hijos y como les beneficia
que les ensenemos a practicarla.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span lang="ES-VE" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Estudios realizados en
el año 2019 y publicados en el Journal of Happiness Studies, sobre la relación
entre la gratitud y la felicidad en niños pequeños, encontró que hay una
estrecha relación entre la gratitud y el nivel de felicidad en niños de hasta 5
años.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span lang="ES-VE" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Otros estudios con niños
entre 11 y 13 años, indico que los niños que practican la gratitud tienen no
solo a ser más felices y optimistas, pero también demuestran estar más
satisfechos con sus colegios, familias, comunidades, amistades y consigo
mismos. Estos niños también tienden a ser más altruistas y dispuestos a ayudar
a otros.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span lang="ES-VE" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Todo lo anterior, nos
lleva a pensar que si le ensenamos a nuestros hijos a ser agradecidos los
estamos ayudando a ser personas felices, exitosas y empáticas cuando crezcan y
lleguen a la adultez.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span lang="ES-VE" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Pero aquí viene la gran
duda de los padres, como les enseno a adquirir esta destreza, habito o actitud
en la vida. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">¿Como
logro que </span><span lang="ES-VE" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">pongan en práctica la
gratitud?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span lang="ES-VE" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Aquí les dejo unos
consejos:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: -.25in;"><span lang="ES-VE" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">1- Lo primero MODELAR la gratitud. No
podemos enseñar lo que no practicamos, por lo tanto, es la responsabilidad de
los padres practicar con el ejemplo. Junto a esto, esta también tener
constancia y consistencia en el mensaje que enviamos. Nada se aprende en un dia
así que no darnos por vencidos y seguir con esta meta.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: -.25in;"><span lang="ES-VE" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">2- Ensenar a los niños desde que
empiezan a hablar, a dar las gracias cada vez que alguien hace algo por ellos o
reciben algo de manos de alguien. Es un habito que a pesar que inicialmente
solo indica buenos modales, también va contribuyendo a crear conciencia en el niño
del concepto gratitud.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: -.25in;"><span lang="ES-VE" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">3- Crear un espacio en familia para
conversar sobre las cosas por las que estamos agradecidos. Por ejemplo, a la
hora de comer en familia, tomar unos minutos para que cada miembro diga una
cosa por la que esta agradecido en ese dia. Es una excelente oportunidad para
que los padres les manifiesten a sus hijos que están agradecidos por tenerlos
como hijos. Este es un mensaje muy positivo para la autoestima de nuestros
hijos mientras modelas agradecimiento por el simple hecho de su existencia.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: -.25in;"><span lang="ES-VE" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">4- Explicarles el concepto de
gratitud, sobre todo sobre cosas intangibles, pues ellos fácilmente entienden
que, si alguien les da un regalo por su cumpleaños, deben
agradecerlo. Pero, que pasa si un compañero de clases le presta un
juguete, o una maestra lo felicita por su buen comportamiento, entienden que
esas acciones también deben ser agradecidas.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span lang="ES-VE" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Fomentar los
sentimientos de gratitud puede transformar nuestra actitud en la vida y
ayudarnos a enfocarnos en las cosas buenas que nos suceden. Pero como todo lo
que vale la pena, requiere practica y reprograma nuestro cerebro y el de
nuestros hijos para tener una actitud de gratitud que nos permitirá ser la
mejor versión de nosotros mismos y ayudar a convertir el mundo en uno mejor al brindarles
una mano a quien más lo necesite y que mejor legado podemos dejarles a nuestros
hijos.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span lang="ES-VE" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">¡Los invito a poner en práctica
estos pequeños consejos y disfrutar los resultados!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span lang="ES-VE" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal">

<p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="ES-VE" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Cuando pensamos en la Cena de Navidad en
familia, normalmente nos concentramos en el menú que vamos a ofrecer. Sin
embargo, hay otros aspectos de la cena que debemos tomar en consideración para
tener una reunión exitosa. El éxito de una reunión familiar, no se fundamenta
solamente en la comida, aunque ese sea un aspecto importante.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="ES-VE" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Hay otros aspectos que debemos considerar
y hoy se los quiero mencionar para que los tomen en cuenta en estas Navidades.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -0.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span lang="ES-VE" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">1-<span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span lang="ES-VE" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;"><b>Planificar,
planificar, planificar</b> – este es el primer aspecto que quiero destacar, eso
implica no dejar las cosas para ultima hora. Empezamos por saber a cuantas
personas vamos a invitar y ser muy específicos cuando formulemos las invitaciones,
especialmente hoy en dia tomando en consideración las necesidades que nos
presenta la pandemia.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Tendremos la reunión
dentro de la casa, o en el patio. Cuantas personas vamos a invitar. Que
utensilios vamos a utilizar – nuestra vajilla o platos y cubiertos desechables.
Una vez que nos respondemos esas preguntas podemos empezar la organización en
casa.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span lang="ES-VE" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

la mesa</b> – si tenemos una mesa lo suficientemente grande para acomodar a todos
los invitados, incluyendo los niños, debemos ubicarlos, sobre todo los pequeños,
cerca de sus padres a fin de que ellos puedan ayudarlos a la hora de comer o
ante cualquier necesidad que tengan.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span lang="ES-VE" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Si no tenemos espacio
para todos, podemos elegir tener una mesa solo para los niños. A ellos siempre
debemos ponerles en sus puestos hojas para colorear o alguna pequeña manualidad
alegórica a la Navidad, con la cual puedan entretenerse mientras esperan que

recuerdo que los cubiertos deben ponerse en el orden que dicta la etiqueta de
mesa y lo cual debemos practicar a diario, pero sobre todo al montar una mesa
para una ocasión especial como es la Cena Navideña. Los tenedores van del lado
izquierdo del plato y los cuchillos del lado derecho con el filo mirando hacia
el plato. Si necesitamos una cuchara de sopa, aunque no es muy usual en el menú
navideño, entonces la ponemos a la derecha del cuchillo. Así que tenedores a la
izquierda y cuchillos y cuchara del lado derecho.</span></p>

quiero recordarles que debemos hacer todo lo posible por tener un tiempo de alegría

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Now that Memorial Day is so
close, which announces that Summer is here, I think it is a good time to
discuss some tips of guest etiquette. When you are invited for the weekend to
your friend’s or relative’s lake home or beach condo, you need to be so gracious that
you will surely receive a repeat invite. Follow these tips and you will certainly be a shining star in the guests department.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Let’s start with the packing;
Never over pack! Why? Simply because guest bedrooms are not usually the largest
or the ones with huge closets and your arrival with four suitcases for a two
night stay sends a really bad signal! Either you are planning on a longer stay
that your host intends or you are not a savvy traveler.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">When you arrive- Never empty
handed but certainly there are some additional facets to this etiquette rule.
The hostess gift guidelines indicate that you should never provide your hostess
with something that will give more work, trouble or concern than your visit is
worth. That being said bring for your weekend, food and drink, that knowing
your host/hostess will enjoy and be appropriated to the place and time. If it is a
vacation home, that will be vacant after your visit don’t take plants for
instance. Some decorating touch with the theme of the lake or beach, such as
kitchen towels or disposable bathroom tissues are always welcomed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Once you are there – Never keep
your own schedules, but adapt to your host’s house rules. If you are the kind
that wakes up at 5 a.m. and starts fidgeting around the kitchen to make coffee,
but nothing moves in that house until 8 a.m., control your impulses. Stay in
your bed or sneak out of the house for a morning walk if you must, but make
sure you don’t make unnecessary noise or
wake anyone up.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Another really important rule that well mannered guests always follow, is to be helpful! Offer to help
with the cooking or the dish washing, or with pulling the boat out of the water.
Whatever the situation calls for, but don’t simply stand by waiting to be
served and entertained. That does not a polite guest make.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Finally, when it is time to
leave – Never leave your room and bathroom in a mess! It is not a hotel room,
where you have been staying; it is the home of someone close enough to you and
kind enough to have opened their home to share with you for a fun stay. Pick up after yourself, ask the hosts if they
want you to remove the bedsheets and towels and place them in the washer (many
families have this habit as it prepares the guest room for their next
adventure).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">If your hosts are having
someone come over to clean up after you all leave, they might say not to
bother, but you certainly must offer. In any case leave the area where you have
been staying in as pristine a condition as you found it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">If you follow these guest
etiquette rules, you are sure to be considered a courteous and polite friend or
relative who the hosts will surely be very happy to invite again.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">May you have many overnight
invitations during the holiday weekends and all year long!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9vVihgtu17o/YIcWp4Ltz5I/AAAAAAAAHEE/SsU1UQMMP7g50MgIQAc_xALcfIt8l4JiQCLcBGAsYHQ/s500/Couple-standing-by-the-lake-at-sunrise-Stock-Photo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="333" data-original-width="500" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9vVihgtu17o/YIcWp4Ltz5I/AAAAAAAAHEE/SsU1UQMMP7g50MgIQAc_xALcfIt8l4JiQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/Couple-standing-by-the-lake-at-sunrise-Stock-Photo.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span><p></p>Yvonne Salas and Tenchy Salashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11391416008450824314noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6577652273776191607.post-2473010964127449322021-04-21T19:40:00.002-04:002021-04-21T19:40:57.266-04:00ETIQUETTE AS A LIFESTYLE..<iframe width="480" height="270" src="https://youtube.com/embed/Hu4QENcTT6c" frameborder="0"></iframe>Yvonne Salas and Tenchy Salashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11391416008450824314noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6577652273776191607.post-90672982563276939182021-02-03T17:27:00.001-05:002021-02-03T17:27:35.000-05:00 Valentine's Etiquette during Covid Pandemic<p> <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "edwardian script itc"; font-size: 22pt; line-height: 33.7333px;">Etiqueta Excellence Manners</span></b></p><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 24.5333px;"></span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 24.5333px;"><strong>ETIQUETTE IN THE MONTH OF FRIENDSHIP & LOVE WITH COVID IN THE AIR</strong></span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 24.5333px;"><strong><br /></strong></span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 24.5333px;">We made it to 2021! It has been almost a year since we celebrated with our love ones without worrying about masks or the size of the group or if anyone tested positive for Covid. All that is not behind us yet, but we do have a lot to be thankful for and celebrating love is certainly good for our immune system.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 24.5333px;">During this month then, let's work on using the celebration of<strong> Friendship and Love</strong>, as a reason for sharing affection, good manners and social graces, to help us all become the best that we can be. It is a great opportunity to talk about how having good manners influences in creating friendships and keeping good friends and fostering nurturing family ties.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 24.5333px;">It is also a great month for celebrations and parties all of them keeping the rules that are the new normal. Small groups, social distancing, open spaces, back yards, but even with those in place we can still get invited to Valentine's Day parties in schools, clubs and churches and even at work . What a great chance to learn about hosts and guests duties. How to treat your guests with love and respect.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 24.5333px;">Last but not least, let's practice some basic table manners!

Table manners also covers the use of napkins and utensils and</span><br /><span style="color: red; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 24.5333px;">how to handle a buffet line!</span><br /><span style="color: red; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 24.5333px;"><br /></span><span style="color: red; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 24.5333px;">It is an excellence opportunity to celebrate by attending a private etiquette class with a few close friends or family and improve our social skills while letting our family members and friends how much we appreciate them.</span><br /><span style="color: red; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 24.5333px;"><br /></span><span style="color: red; font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 16pt;">Our society will be much better off if we as adults show trustworthiness, citizenship, responsibility, fairness, caring and respect.

MANERA SEGURA EN EL 2020</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="ES-VE" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">El
Dia de Acción de Gracias es una celebración familiar que todos esperamos con
gran ilusión. Este año, sin embargo, tendremos que tomar algunas previsiones
para asegurarnos que lo celebremos de manera segura y con distanciamiento
social.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="ES-VE" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Lo
primero que podemos considerar es hacerlo de manera virtual, especialmente para
los mayores de la familia. No por ello hay que sentir que no están
participando, podemos hacerlo por llamada con video o por alguna plataforma con
la que ellos se sientan cómodos. Si esa
es una opción, debemos seguir algunos pasos. Lo primero es que la invitación
indique claramente como se realizara la comunicación y segundo hacerla
participativa/interactiva, como por ejemplo que ellos contribuyan con una
receta para que cada quien desde sus casas este comiendo ese plato y sientan
que están compartiendo. Acuérdense que
lo importante es que nuestros mayores se sientan acompañados y amados en un día
tan especial, sin lugar a dudas que cuidarles su salud es una manera muy
importante de dejarles saber cuánto los queremos y lo importante que son para
nosotros.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="ES-VE" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Si
decidimos que celebraremos en grupo, también tenemos unas observaciones para
garantizar que no pongamos en riesgo la salud de los participantes. Lo primero es celebrar la cena en un espacio
exterior. Un patio, terraza o junto a la piscina, son lugares ideales pues hay
brisa y movimiento permanente de aire, lo cual los expertos indican ayuda mucho
a disipar la posibilidad de contagio.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="ES-VE" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">En
segundo lugar, invitar solo a personas que viven en la misma zona o ciudad pues
eso también reduce la posibilidad de transmisión. Debemos evitar traer a
personas que viven en lugares lejanos y sobre todo de áreas con alto número de
casos. Debemos pedirle a nuestros
invitados que pasen a lavarse las manos cuando llegan de la calle para
incrementar más todavía las medidas de seguridad. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="ES-VE" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">La
siguiente recomendación, se refiere a como sentar a nuestros invitados una vez
que pasamos a la cena. Debemos sentarlos por grupos familiares y si pueden ser
en mesas individuales mejor aún para evitar que estén sentados con personas que
no son de su núcleo familiar. De todas maneras, no olvidar tener gel
desinfectante en cada mesa.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="ES-VE" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Este
año, yo también sugiero cambiar algo que para mi es tradición, que es utilizar
servilletas de tela. Por ahora, lo mas seguro es utilizar servilletas de papel
que cada comensal pueda dejar en la papelera más cercana al culminar la cena.
Lo mismo, puede ser con los vasos y las copas. Hay diseños bellos en materiales
desechables que pueden ser utilizados y brindar mas tranquilidad tanto a los
anfitriones como los invitados.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="ES-VE" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Finalmente,
según los expertos, la manera mas segura de servir la comida y la bebida es que
cada quien se sirva de forma individual, pero que mientras están preparando sus
platos en el buffet tengan la mascara puesta y se las retiren al volver a sus
mesas. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="ES-VE" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">¡Sabemos
que el 2020 ha requerido de muchos sacrificios, pero estas medidas nos ayudaran
a disfrutar con gratitud nuestra cena de Acción de Gracias mientras limitamos
lo más posible el riesgo de contagio del Coronavirus!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 107%;">Dress
for Success in the virtual world too<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 107%;"> Show
up Professional for that Virtual Meeting!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 107%;">I would like to follow up on last week’s blog about
the etiquette of virtual meetings with another aspect of this type of business
communication. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 107%;">One of the great advantages of working from home is
that you do not have to wear professional attire every day. But if you have scheduled a virtual meeting
with colleagues or clients, then you don’t want to be seen wearing your pjs
with uncombed hair and not even a trace of makeup for the ladies.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 107%;">Be professional and show respect for yourself and for
whoever will be participating with you in that virtual meeting<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 107%;">The key to selecting how you should look during your
meeting is very simple. You must dress to meet your audience’s expectations. If
your company has a dress code, to which you comply on a daily basis, and which
your employer expects you to respect, then the logical thing would be to dress
as if you were attending an in person meeting in your office. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 107%;">If the meeting is with your clients or potential ones,
then dress as you would like them to see you if you were to have a meeting
under normal circumstances, not during this stay at home period. The idea is
that your client, even on a screen, perceives you to be professional and
responsible, the same attributes that you like to portray in any face to face interaction
that you have during your professional life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 107%;">The new normal for doing business includes a lot of screen
time and interaction. In spite of that, the general rules of business etiquette
continue to have the same importance as in your personal contact with bosses,
colleagues and clients. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 107%;">The professional appearance rules continue to apply,
that means no transparencies, no low cut blouses (the camera will catch you) and
no sexy off the shoulder style either!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 107%;">Business Etiquette courses and Workshops emphasize the
importance of giving a great first impression in your business encounters. That
is even more important when using virtual platforms to conduct business, since
there are not other aspects that can help you portray the professionalism that
you wish to convey.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 107%;">Dressing for success is not the only aspect you have
to consider when having virtual meetings, but it is certainly a very important
one. You will also have to remember the importance of the background that is
visible during your meeting, how noise and interruptions affect the effectiveness
of your meeting and technical aspects such as lighting and how you position
yourself for the camera, among others.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 107%;">We will continue posting about other aspects of
virtual meeting etiquette in the next few days, in order to provide you with
practical tips on how to become a polished professional while using these platforms.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">VIRTUAL
MEETING ETIQUETTE<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Now we are all exposed to classes, seminars, meetings
and just an infinite amount of virtual exchanges
with Zoom platform and all the other video facing, so here go some of the tips
that I find must be practiced in order to show up as a professional and a reliable
source in whichever field your business is in.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">1-<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">If
you are scheduling a live webinar, then plan on solving your personal needs
before the time arrives! Why do I say this? Incredibly, I have seen a webinar
presenter start to eat as the webinar begins, saying that she did not have time
to eat breakfast. She then proceeded to start to eat from a plastic pot with a
plastic fork and speak with her mouth full of food! She needs to review her basic manners let alone her business etiquette!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">2-<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">So
let’s break apart what faux pas she committed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Let’s begin by saying that a video
chat, webinar or face time of any sort,
should be treated with the same respect as a face to face interaction,
therefore, consider these questions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Would you receive someone in your one
on one coaching practice or when you are presenting a seminar to a group, with
a plate of food in your hand and justify it by saying you had not had time to
eat?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The answer, of course, is NO! Because
as a business/professional woman you keep a schedule, you assign time slots to
your business dealings and meetings and you assign time slots to your exercise
routine, to your yoga class, to your meals. So why would you not give that same
respect and importance to your webinar schedule.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I understand that this is all new to
many professionals and business owners, but just remember the basic Golden
Rule. Treat others as you would like to be treated. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">There are other aspects that I will be discussing in other posts, such as How to Dress for that virtual meeting? or What area of my house should my background show?</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">So be on the lookout for my future posts on these topics.</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The new normal requires you to polish
your virtual meeting Etiquette, hope these tips make you think about how you need to show up at your next meeting.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>HALLOWEEN ETIQUETTE<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Yes, there is such a thing
as Halloween Etiquette.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">What I mean by this is that it is a great
opportunity to teach good manners when we are having fun with our children. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Halloween is the perfect opportunity to show
our children how to behave and show respect to the people they will interact
with when they go trick or treating around the neighborhood.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Here are some tips to put into practice, both for
the kids and the parents!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">1- Due to both cultural and religious reasons, may
people might decide to not celebrate Halloween. If so, we should teach our
children to respect these differences and as a consequence, if you see houses
with the lights out, then don’t ring the bell. Great way to show respect.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">2- When you get to a house to ask for a treat,
always say please and thank you and have eye contact with the person giving you
the candy. Don’t just grab the chocolates and place them in your goody bag
while looking around for your friends or the house next door. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That would show very bad manners of the
children’s part and lack of consideration for the person handing you the
treats.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">3- Be Grateful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Never refuse or show displeasure for what you are given. Let’s teach our
kids to receive a gift with a smile and say thank you. This is especially
important now days that many adults decide not to offer candy but to substitute
them for stickers, pencils or small toys.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>If your children are expecting chocolates, they might be tempted to roll
their eyes or refuse the gift. Remind your children that what is important is
to thank the gesture irrelevant of the fact that we might not like or expect
that gift.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is the kindness of the
neighbors that we should be grateful for, as they as not obligated in any way
to provide any treats at all!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">4- If there is no one handing out the candy, but
instead they have left a basket with candy at the door,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>have kids show their good manners by taking
one or two pieces only, so that there will be enough for the children coming
after you. Remember that sharing is not only Caring, but a sign of good
manners.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">5- The following is an aspect of Etiquette, but
certainly also of safety. Tell your children to never go inside a house to get
a treat. If someone asks you to step inside a stranger’s house to get your
candy, always say NO, and leave as soon as possible to be with your group or to
the closest house. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">6- Lastly, let the children be reminded to not start
to eat anything they have been given before reaching home. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When they are back at their house with their
over flowing “Treat Bags”, give the parents the opportunity to review the
contents and decide what is safe enough to consume.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Have a fun and safe Halloween while practicing your
Good Manners!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

crea, existe la Etiqueta de Halloween. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="ES" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: ES;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="ES" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: ES;">Lo que quiero decir
con esto, es que es indispensable tener buenos modales aun en los momentos de diversión
con nuestros hijos, y debemos ensenarles la manera correcta de comportarse y
mostrar respeto por las personas con que vamos a interactuar.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="ES" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: ES;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="ES" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: ES;">Aquí les van unos
consejos para poner en práctica tanto a padres como a sus hijos:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="ES" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: ES;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="ES" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: ES;">1- Por motivos
culturales o religiosos, muchas personas deciden no celebrar Halloween,
respeten esa decisión, si usted nota que las luces están apagadas, no toquen el
timbre. Enséneles a sus niños a demostrar esa forma de respeto<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="ES" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: ES;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="ES" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: ES;">2- Siempre que
lleguen a una casa a pedir golosinas, digan por favor y gracias y mantengan
contacto visual con la persona que los atienda. No estén tomando los caramelos
y ya mirando a la casa del vecino. Eso es de muy mala educación y demuestra una
desconsideración muy grande hacia la persona que le esta obsequiando.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="ES" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: ES;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="ES" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: ES;">3-Sea agradecido.
Nunca desprecie o demuestre desagrado por lo que le ofrecen. Enséneles a sus niños
a recibir con una sonrisa y las gracias cualquier cosa que le ofrezcan.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hoy en día, muchos adultos deciden no
obsequiar caramelos, sino calcomanías, lápices y pequeños juguetes, y si los niños
solo quieren recibir chocolates, pueden demostrar malos modales haciendo malas
caras o no aceptando un obsequio diferente.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Recuérdeles a sus niños que lo importante es agradecer el gesto, ya que
es una gentileza de sus vecinos darles esos pequeños regalos, no es su obligación.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="ES" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: ES;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="ES" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: ES;">4- Si no hay una
persona entregando los caramelos, sino que han dejado una bandeja en la puerta,
demuestre sus buenos modales tomando solamente, una o dos piezas, no una
cantidad desproporcionada. Recuerde que compartir es una forma de mostrar
amabilidad y cortesía.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="ES" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: ES;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="ES" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: ES;">5- <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Esto es un aspecto de etiqueta, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>pero además, sin lugar a dudas, de seguridad
para sus hijos, es recordarles que nunca deben entrar a una casa extraña para
recibir sus golosinas. Si alguien los invita a entrar, decir no gracias y
continuar <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>rápidamente hacia la casa más
cercana. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="ES" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: ES;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="ES" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: ES;">6- Por último,
recordarles, que nunca deben comer nada de lo que le han obsequiado antes de
llegar a su casa y brindar a sus padres la oportunidad de revisar el contenido
de su bolso para garantizar que sea seguro comer lo que han recibido.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span lang="ES" style="color: #1c1e21; font-family: "inherit","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: ES; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Estamos en el mes de las
Graduaciones y tenemos muchas preguntas sobre qué debemos hacer cuando
recibimos una invitación para un acto de graduación, como vestirnos y la gran
duda, si debemos llevar un regalo al graduando.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span lang="ES" style="color: #1c1e21; font-family: "inherit","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: ES; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Bueno pues aquí les dejo unos
consejos.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="ES" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: ES;">1- Confirme si la invitación es para el Acto Académico o
para la fiesta de<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Celebración del
grado.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>La mayoría de los actos
académicos tienen un límite al número de invitados que cada graduando puede
llevar y en la mayoría de los casos el acceso se reduce a los familiares más
cercanos. Por lo tanto, no se ofenda.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="ES" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: ES;">2- Si asiste al Acto Académico, sea puntual y no espere
que le guarden asiento si usted no llega junto al grupo familiar. En este tipo
de evento no se debe guardar asientos para los que no han llegado pues es una
desconsideración para las personas que llegaron temprano.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Si usted, llega tarde, siéntese donde pueda y
punto.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="ES" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: ES;">3- Si usted ha sido invitado para la celebración, también
debe ser puntual pero aquí lo que le quiero recordar es que su vestuario debe
ser acorde con la hora del día en que se celebra. Esto significa que no debe ir
vestido como a un coctel o fiesta de gala si la familia invita para las 3 de la
tarde en el jardín de su casa. La elegancia parte de que su vestimenta sea
apropiada al momento y lugar del evento.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="ES" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: ES;">4- Por último, no olvide llevarle un regalo al graduando.
Siempre es una señal de cortesía y buenos modales obsequiar un detalle a la
persona que culmina sus estudios, como reconocimiento a su esfuerzo. Desde un
libro o bolígrafo hasta algún detalle que demuestre que usted conoce los gustos
de su amigo o amiga. Hoy en día, también es aceptable el regalo de una tarjeta
(gift card) para gastar en su tienda favorita y así dejar al gusto de la
persona lo que quiera adquirir.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="ES" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: ES;">Disfrute asistiendo a las graduaciones de sus familiares
y amigos y compartiendo la alegría por los logros obtenidos.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">GOOD MANNERS TO TEACH YOUR CHILDREN<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I never get
tired of repeating it. It is never too early to start teaching your children
good manners. To the question as to why? My reply is simply that we are doing
something that will directly contribute to the child’s success in life! What
could be more rewarding than knowing that your child will be able to foster
great relationships with family and friends, both peers and adults by having
the skills to do so. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Having good manners
will make your child a more pleasant and kind person. Someone with empathy and
gratitude.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">So what
manners should you be teaching your child? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Here are
some that I suggest you start working on right away!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">1- Say
Please and Thank You – sounds obvious right, but the important thing is that
you use those words with him or her, so that your modeling is as loud as your
words.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">2- Saying
Sorry – along with the top ones, a really important word to learn to use, simply
because it shows that you are aware of someone else’s feeling and emotions. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">3- Making
Eye Contact – it shows respect and basic courtesy to the person you are
speaking with. Teaches to pay attention and be an active listener.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">4- Having a
Conversation – from topics to the volume of your voice, this is a very valuable
skill to teach children from a young age. It also promotes self-regulation as
it allows them to share their interests and feelings while doing it in an
appropriate way.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">5- Helping
others – such as opening door for older people or someone with full hands. It
will promote self-esteem and be well-liked by others.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">There are,
of course, many more manners that we should and could teach, but<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>if we start with these, we are sure to make a
very useful contribution to our children’s social skills and, therefore,
success.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 24.5333px;">During this month let's work on using the celebration of<strong> Friendship and Love</strong>, as a source for sharing affection, good manners and social graces, to help us all become the best that we can be. It is a great opportunity to talk about how having good manners influences in creating friendships and keeping good friends. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 24.5333px;">It is also a great month for celebrations and parties. In schools, clubs and churches and even at work we will be invited to Valentine's Day Parties. What a great chance to learn about hosts and guests duties. How to treat your guests with love and respect.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 24.5333px;">Last but not least, let's practice some basic table manners! It is also a great opportunity to review keeping elbows off the table and chewing with your mouth closed. Table manners also covers the use of napkins and utensils and</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 24.5333px;">how to handle a buffet line!</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 24.5333px;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: red; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 24.5333px;">It is an excellence opportunity to celebrate by attending an etiquette class with a group of friends and improve our social skills while letting our women family members and friends how much we appreciate them.</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 24.5333px;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: red; font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 16pt;">Our society will be much better off if we as adults show trustworthiness, citizenship, responsibility, fairness, caring and respect. All of which can be fostered by improving our good manners and practicing civility and mostly by</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 16pt;">showing our appreciation to those important people in our lives.</span><br />

Are you ready for the event? #raceetiquette #derbyetiquette
This event has been going on for 144 years! That’s a lot of years for
traditions to be formed.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So let me tell you about one that I love, which is, that this race is also known as “Run of the Roses” because since 1932 the
winner is given a garland of red roses sewn together. The winner of this year’s
Kentucky Derby #kentuckyderby will take home around $1.2 million which is not
bad for two minutes of racing.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Another tradition that I totally love is the outfits that you can see during Derby weekend. So let's get some #derbyetiquette regarding what to wear?
Hat or<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Fascinator? Both are going to be
seen with glamour around the grounds. Hats tend to be wide-brimmed and inspired
in the Southern Belle look. Fascinators are more popular every year and are easier
to wear since they are secured to your head either with a comb or headband.
#fascinators #hats <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The dresses that
accompany the headgear should be spring dresses and either pastels or bold
colors that coordinate with your hat.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you are not going to Churchill Downs, Kentucky this
weekend, it does not mean that you cannot get into the mood by having or
attending a local party to watch those famous two minutes on television and
finding a good excuse to wear that beautiful Fascinator made by Monica Mayer of
#LadyArtWear , that you have not used for a while, all the while sipping some
mint juleps or champagne!</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 18.0pt;">May is graduation month, so it is always a good time to review</span><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 18.0pt;">some graduation etiquette.</span><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 18.0pt;">Let's begin with the difference
between a graduation announcement and an invitation to a graduation ceremony or
party.</span><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 18.0pt;">If you receive a graduation
announcement, you are not required to send a gift to the graduate. You, of
course, may do so if you wish, receiving a gift is always nice, but you do not
have to. What is always a nice gesture is to send a card or note congratulating
the graduate for his/her accomplishment.</span><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 18.0pt;">On the other hand, if you are
invited to the ceremony or the party, you must send or take with you a
gift to the event.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 18.0pt;">Another aspect that is always a delicate topic is who gets invited
to the actual commencement. Usually high school and college graduation ceremonies
have a limited number of invitations allotted per student.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 18.0pt;">Most family members will understand that it only allows for very
close members to attend, but always explain the situation to relatives so they don’t
feel they have been left out of this important family event. What is a delicate
way of dealing with this problem is to make sure that members from each side of
the family of the graduate attend.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 18.0pt;">If you have a close knit, large family that is used to big
celebrations, then hold a party after the graduation and make sure to invite
everyone so they all share the festivities!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Decorating your Thanksgiving Table</span></b></div>
<b><br /></b><span style="font-size: large;">
Are you almost ready for your Thanksgiving dinner? You have bought all the ingredients for your favorite recipes. Family members are beginning to arrive. All is set, except you have not given enough thought to</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">setting your Thanksgiving table!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The decoration of your Thanksgiving dinner table is a very important aspect of your celebration and as such you should give it thought and time.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Here are some tips:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">- First of all set up your table the day or night before. with enough time and without being rushed by having to check the bird in the oven.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">- Take out all your "good" china, wine glasses, utensils. All those beautiful pieces that you don't normally use.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">- Start by using a tablecloth with fall or specific Thanksgiving motif. If not use a cream or beige color one, which will serve as the first layer and upon which you can build your palate of fall colors.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">- Remember to place your utensils correctly: forks to the left of the plate, knife and spoon to the right.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">- If you wish place a name card in each setting, so that your guests will know where to sit when you call them to the dining room. As a hostess this is a great way to guarantee that your guests will be sitting next to people that they have things in common with or have not seen for a while and this makes it easy to reconnect.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">- Use your creativity to decorate with flowers, garlands, pumpkins etc. to make sure that your table is as memorable as your food! See some images below for inspiration.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">- Lastly, remember to be grateful! That is the reason for Thanksgiving, to remember to give thanks for our families, for all that we have accomplished this year and to realize that we must help those that are less fortunate than we are.</span><br />
