Manners Time (Toddler Tools®) Reviews

  • Elliot's Mama

    We love the Toddler Tools series (Calm-Down Time is our favorite!). This is a great one for introducing manners such as using please, thank you, you’re welcome, excuse me, and no thank you. I think it would be age-appropriate from 1.5 years old and up

    Update: at 2.5 years old, Elliot is really understanding a lot more about manners and is saying “I’m sorry” and “thank you” independently.

  • Suzanne Lorraine Kunz Williams

    A sweet, straightforward book about manners.

    ** Talking Points: What are some situations where you should use your best manners. Are there ever any times when it's okay to be rude? Why are please & thank you such magic words? Is it usually easy or hard for you to say "I'm sorry."?

    ** Essential Oil Pairing Tip: I'd pair this book with rose essential oil. It's made especially for children. It's an oil that helps us feel loved. And manners are all about showing love.

  • Alicia Evans

    For: manners fans; readers looking for a simple, clear introduction to basic manners (with some additional talking points for parents/caregivers in the back).

    Possible red flags: upset/accidentally breaking a toy.

  • Rachel Willis

    A couple bits were very tricky for me to enunciate correctly as I don't actually speak Spanish lol. But the bebe started babbling along and at one point I think he was speaking Spanish. So all the exposure in music, movies, and now books is working! Yay!

  • Donna Mork

    Goes through the basics of manners in simple to understand terms.

  • Kelly

    Perfectly told for a child.

  • Emelda

    GREAT introduction to manners and social cues for the youngest kids and/or younger kids with a hard time with those social behaviors. And there is a great, easy "parents and caregivers" section in the back. I really have to look into the entire series of "Toddler Tools" that Free Spirit Publishing puts out!
