Behaving

the long version

Behaving is a fascinating collection of papers on children's etiquette, originally presented at a series of meetings of the Mothers' Club of the P.S. 17 District in New York City. It covers topics such as table manners, conversation, behavior at home and in public, and more. The advice provided in this book is both practical and timeless, and will prove useful to parents, teachers, and anyone interested in the history of child-rearing practices in America.
