May I please speak to ....?

Telephone manners are so important and should be taught as soon as the parent decides to let the child answer the telephone.

Never say, " Jone's residence" because you are giving too much information to someone that you don't know that is calling.

When children answer the telephone have them just say,"Hello". Remember to add, "just a minute please" when the caller has asked for someone.

Keep it simple, safe, and polite.

It's fun to give a Happy Handshake

Stand up tall and look the person in the eye and don't forget the smile on your face.

Offer the right hand and with a firm handshake move the hands up and down in a slow comfortable way.

No finger shakes or "weak-fish" handshakes are allowed. Girls and women should follow the same procedure, be sure to fit the whole hand in the other persons hand.

Just say, "hello" or "I'm pleased to meet you" and really mean it.

There you are.....A Happy Handshake!!!
