ABOUT ME
My name is Kari Doody, founder of the Courteous and Cool Etiquette School. After having three children and sharing stories with other mom’s, I realized that many role models that our children look up to were in the news – and not in a good way. We aren’t born with good manners, they need to be cultivated at a young age and reinforced throughout young adulthood. That’s not easy to do when there’s school, homework and extra curricular activities. At the end of the day, who has the energy to turn the dinner table into a classroom?
My father was a very successful businessman who entertained at home, so there was ‘on the job’ training starting when I was very young. Once I reached middle school – I was enrolled in cotillion for four years and learned the art of socializing and behavior with other young adults my age. None of it was difficult – and all of it was great fun.
All parents want to prepare their children with the necessary knowledge for them to thrive as adults. So, whatever level your child is at, I can help them improve their skills and confidence – and they can have fun doing it with my age appropriate games and activities. You will see after the first class that they have lots of new information, and will want to show it off!
