Our Kids Are Learning Academics. But What About the Skills They'll Use Everywhere Else?
Can they introduce themselves with confidence?
Look up and speak clearly?
Join a conversation?
Order for themselves at a restaurant?
Show gratitude?
Encourage a teammate?
Handle themselves at the table?
Treat people with kindness and respect?
These skills may not appear on a report card, but they shape how our children handle themselves at school, at home, in restaurants, on teams, with friends, and in new situations.
And here's the good news:
You don't have to create the lessons or teach them yourself.
The Etiquette Method is a done-for-you digital program for
children ages 7–12.
Your child logs in, presses play, and our digital instructor guides them through each lesson in less than 15 minutes.
They can watch independently or you can watch together.
No lesson planning.
No teaching required.
No live classes or schedules to work around.
Just practical lessons in confidence, kindness, respect, responsibility, and social graces that fit into real family life.

The Program is Created.
&
You Don't Have to Teach It.
I'm Caroline Harris, founder of The Character Method.
I'm a certified etiquette consultant, former Division I athlete, business owner, and mom raising two young boys.
For several years, I taught etiquette and social skills to children in person. I loved it, and I continued hearing from families who wanted their children to participate.
But there were only so many children I could personally reach through in-person classes.
So I took what I had been teaching, expanded it, and created The Etiquette Method, a digital program families can use wherever they live and whenever their schedules allow.
I created the lessons and the program.
Our digital instructor teaches them to your child.
You don't need to become the etiquette teacher.
You simply give your child access, press play, and let the program guide them.
And No, My Kids Aren't Perfect Either.
If you know me or my family personally, you already know this!
We're a work in progress at our house, too.
There are days when I see something we've been working on finally click.
And there are other days when I'm thinking, Have we ever discussed this before?
I still remind.
I still correct.
I still encourage.
And yes, I still repeat myself.
Being an etiquette consultant doesn't mean my children get everything right. It means I understand that these skills take practice, repetition, reminders, and lots of opportunities to try again.
Good manners, confidence, kindness, responsibility, and character aren't things we teach once and check off a list.
They're developed in little moments over time.
The goal isn't perfection. It's progress.
We're not raising perfect kids.
We're raising kids who are learning. And we're working on it, too.
Welcome to The Etiquette Method
Five Units. Twenty Lessons. Practical Skills for Everyday Life.
The Etiquette Method is the flagship program from The Character Method, created for children ages 7–12.
Whether your child attends public school, private school, or learns at home, the program gives them focused time to learn and practice skills they can use almost everywhere they go.
And because every video lesson is less than 15 minutes, it's easy to fit into a busy week.
After school.
On a Saturday morning.
During summer break.
One lesson a week.
Or whenever it works for your family.
Watch anywhere — Access lessons from a computer, tablet, or phone with the Kajabi mobile app, or cast to a compatible TV.
Homeschooling?
The Etiquette Method can also be an easy addition to your child's enrichment or extracurricular learning, providing practical instruction in etiquette, communication, confidence, social skills, and character without adding another subject for you to teach.
What’s Inside The Etiquette Method?
Five units. Twenty lessons (aka missions). Practical skills for everyday life.
Unit 1: Hello, Confidence!
Greetings and introductions can feel uncomfortable when children do not know what to say or do. In this unit, your child will practice looking up, speaking clearly, introducing themselves, remembering names, and greeting others with confidence and respect.
Unit 2: Pass the Manners, Please!
Table manners are not only for holidays and formal occasions. Your child will explore table settings, utensils, napkin use, mealtime conversation, and the everyday habits that help everyone feel comfortable and respected at the table.
Unit 3: Be That Kid!
The kid who notices others. The kid who includes someone new. The kid who knows how to join a conversation, listen well, handle disagreements, and treat people with kindness and dignity. This unit focuses on the social skills children use with friends, classmates, teammates, and new people.
Unit 4: Plugged In With Purpose!
Good manners still matter when communication happens through a screen. Your child will explore texting, video calls, online communication, phone use, privacy, and how to communicate thoughtfully and responsibly in a digital world.
Unit 5: All Dressed Up With Everywhere to Go!
Your child will learn how personal presentation, appropriate clothing, body language, and speaking clearly can help them feel more prepared for different situations. The emphasis is not on expensive clothing or looking perfect. It is about showing care for yourself, the occasion, and the people around you.
Bonus Lesson: Thank You, Truly!
A genuine thank-you can make someone feel seen and appreciated. Your child will learn how to receive a gift graciously, express sincere gratitude, and write a thoughtful thank-you note.
Here's How Simple It Is
1. Log In
Your child accesses The Etiquette Method from home on your schedule.
2. Press Play
Our warm and encouraging digital instructor, Mrs. Churchwell, guides your child through a video lesson that's less than 15 minutes.
Mrs. Churchwell was inspired by a beloved teacher from my own childhood and was created to provide a consistent, encouraging instructor throughout the program.
3. Reinforce It If You Want To
Each lesson also includes:
- A Student Workpage
- Printable flashcards
- A real-world challenge
- An optional Faith-Based Companion Worksheet
Use all of them.
Use some of them.
Or simply have your child watch the lesson.
They're tools, not more homework for Mom, Dad, Coach or Teacher.
The program is designed to work for your family/school/church, not the other way around.
_______________________________________
No Lesson Planning. No Teaching Required. No Set Schedule.
Your child can watch independently.
Or you can watch together.
Do one lesson each week.
Do several when you have extra time.
Take a break during a busy week and come back later.
Rewatch a lesson when your child needs a refresher.
You don't have to create the lesson. You just have to press play.
_____________________________________
Want to Connect the Lessons to Faith?
Every lesson also includes a free, optional Faith-Based Companion Worksheet with a related Bible Scripture connection.
These companion pages give families, churches, and even schools an opportunity to explore how confidence, kindness, gratitude, respect, and responsibility can reflect the heart of Jesus.
They're completely optional, allowing each family, church or school to choose the experience that's right for them.
Imagine Seeing It Click
You're having dinner out and your child orders for themselves.
They look at the server.
Speak clearly.
Say thank you.
Maybe they even remember to put their napkin in their lap before you remind them.
Will every meal look like this?
Absolutely not.
They're still kids.
But then you'll notice one little moment when something they've learned clicks.
Maybe they introduce themselves without hiding behind you.
Include the child who's standing alone.
Encourage a teammate who's having a rough game.
Put the phone away when someone is speaking.
Write a thank-you note without asking, "What am I supposed to say?"
Those little moments matter.
That's the win.
Not perfection.
Progress.

Early Feedback From Parents and Educators
"Wow. Every kid needs this! And even some parents. I have seen an increase in confidence with both of my kids. They make a true effort to look people in the eye when speaking and they now stand up when an adult walks into the room. These are just a few of the things I've noticed. It's the little things that make a huge difference. Plus, learning these skills from someone other than me has been a game changer. I will be gifting The Etiquette Method to my nieces and nephews for Christmas. "
Oliva B. (mom of a 7 and an 11 year old)
“The Etiquette Method gives schools a practical way to include confidence, manners, and character development in the school day. I could see it being used for weekly lessons, classroom rotations, or summer programs. Teachers have asked for resources like this, and now there is a realistic option.”
Mrs. LeBlanc
Elementary School Principal & Sister of the Founder
"Oh my gosh. I'm so impressed. You can change the world with this. Every person needs this and so many adults need the reminders."
Ronni C. - Mom of 4 boys (high school and college)

Confidence for the Moments That Matter
Standing tall.
Speaking clearly.
Sharing an idea.
Looking up instead of down.
Knowing how to enter a room, join a conversation, or introduce yourself.
Confidence doesn't always mean being the loudest person in the room.
Sometimes it simply means knowing what to do.
The Etiquette Method gives children opportunities to learn and practice those skills before they need them in real life.
