The Little Ambassadors Etiquette Seminar: 
Hello, parents and guardians, let me warmly introduce you to the Little Ambassadors Etiquette Seminar hosted by the Etiquette and Leadership Institute of Indiana (ELII). This delightful seminar is tailor-made for children aged 5 to 7—your precious Little Ambassadors! ELII’s heartfelt goal is to provide these little ones with a solid foundation in manners and a deep understanding of the rules of etiquette. We want them to feel confident and empowered as they navigate their world.
Imagine your child using these skills at home, in childcare settings, at school, and during playdates with friends. While we cover a wide range of topics, a few gems stand out:
  • Polite Behavior: Saying “please” and “thank you” opens doors to kindness.
  • Social Graces: Greetings, introductions, and table manners are all part of our Little Ambassadors’ toolkit!
    • For example, how to set the table for a four-course meal, how to use silverware (fork, spoon, knife), How to use a Napkin, how to meet new friends, Tips for helping Mom and Dad around the house, and What is an Act of Kindness?

Many agree that parents significantly influence their children’s behavior regardless of education level, financial status, or religious beliefs. Children are like sponges—they model everything their parents say and do, incorporating these behaviors into their lives at childcare, on the playground, and in school. Therefore, parents must set proper examples for their children. Negative examples can harm a child’s development and lead to destructive behavior.

The Etiquette and Leadership Institute of Indiana’s (ELII) Little Ambassadors (LA) group represent children 5 – 7 years of age. LA’s etiquette seminars inspire each attending young boy and girl to become educated, informed, and have lots of fun while learning manners and rules of etiquette. Students are engaged by role-playing, engaging conversation; question and answer sessions, along with hands-on activities, which stimulate creativity and curiosity.

The Etiquette and Leadership Institute of Indiana (ELII) believes young children at this age group (5 -7 yrs.) have the ability to comprehend and understand basic manners and rules of etiquette. When parents invest in their child(ren) it gives them the confidence to address challenges only they can experience at their age.

If you’re not sure your child(ren) would benefit from the Little Ambassadors Etiquette Seminar, please take a moment to answer the following questions; Is your child(ren):

  • Unable to make friends easily?
  • Whines when they can’t get their way?
  • Doesn't want to help mom and dad around the house?
  • Know how to behave at the dinner table?
  • Has trouble sitting still in restaurants?
  • Unable to write thank you notes for gifts given to them?
  • Trouble knowing what’s right from wrong?
  • Repeats what they hear in the house or on TV?
  • Doesn't know how to dress themselves?
  • Has trouble getting along with others at daycare or school?

If you answered “Yes” to any of the above statements, then the Little Ambassadors Etiquette Seminar is the seminar for your child(ren). Sign them up for our future LA seminars and see how they transform into a more polite, kinder, and smarter Little Ambassador!
