The problem this solves

Confidence at the table is quietly assumed and rarely taught. Most children are simply told to behave, without ever learning what is actually happening at a table.

This pack is not about teaching a child to eat like they are at a palace every evening. It is about raising a child who can sit comfortably at a family kitchen table, a friend's home, a cafe, a buffet, a restaurant, a wedding reception or a formal dinner, and understand what is expected.

Eighty short conversations move from napkins, cutlery and politely trying unfamiliar food at four, to reading menus, budgeting, service charges, tipping, splitting bills and formal place settings at twelve.

It covers menus and ordering, table etiquette, restaurants and buffets, money and bills, dietary needs, cultural dining differences and hosting at your own table. It closes with The Young Diner Challenge.
