Social Graces

Social graces are the kind, polite behaviors and attitudes we demonstrate in social settings. They are society's unwritten rules for interaction with others. Simple examples include sharing a kind smile, offering a helping hand, and eye contact during conversation. Good manners make lasting impressions!

It is never too early or too late to learn good manners.
