ABOUT THE CREATOR
Barbara Gilmour was raised in a family where good manners were taught and practiced. She has a degree in Home Economics from Penn State University where she received etiquette instruction. She married into a family where all aspects of the social graces were taught. She was a stay-at-home mom, raising her two daughters. For many years, after the girls were in school, she worked in floral design, which afforded her a more flexible schedule for her children.

In the mid 1990's, Barbara decided to try something new. She spent a year researching and writing two 10-hour courses, Manners for Kids 8-12 and Manners for Teens. These courses were taught locally.

Barbara spent over six years expanding the content of the Manners for Kids 8-12 course to reach more children. Multiple courses, adressing the root causes of bullying are under the banner of Tanner's Manners: Be a Cool Kind Kid.

Barbara along with co-authors Sydelle Mason EdD and Webdy Mc McDermott, PHD believe that good habits, when learned at an early age, become second nature and last a lifetime. Children who know what is expected and proper in every social situation will go into those situations feeling comfortable and confident and will behave better.
