Mind Their Table Manners: Here's How

Do not allow comments such as "gross, ewww, nasty" at the table. Encourage children to eat slowly and take their time while eating. If children want something off the table, they should ask for it to be passed. They shouldn't be reaching across the table for anything. Before every meal, have your child place a napkin in his or her lap. Explain to your child that he should use the napkin to wipe his hands or face. If your child wipes his mouth on his clothes, remind him that that's what napkins are for. Use positive reinforcement to show your support for your child's attempt at good table manners. Compliment his excellent skills and praise him when he does well. And remember, there's no better way to teach your children good manners than to lead by example.
