Etiquette for Rebels: Stories That Teach Genuine Care for Others

Etiquette is not a boring set of rules to memorize in order to please adults. The rules of good behavior are needed to communicate effectively and pleasantly with others. But how can we convey the importance of good behavior to children without lectures and moralizing? Moreover, the task of responsible parents is not to train their children, but to teach them to make thoughtful and conscious decisions taking into account their own boundaries and the boundaries of others.
Lёlya Tarasevich, a practicing psychologist, journalist, and author of the bestseller "Tales for Highly Sensitive Children," has created a fictional story about a brother and sister. Misha and Alice also don't understand why the rules invented by adults are necessary, so their parents invite an etiquette teacher for them. Together with her, the kids find themselves in numerous situations that help them reflect on the importance of polite communication and make the right decisions in challenging circumstances.
To make the material easier to digest, discussion questions are offered after each chapter.
