Tame Your Manners

About the Book

Tame Your Manners™ at K.A.M.P. Safari is a fun, meaningful and most importantly, memorable way for a child to learn manners. Any adult or child who reads this book will delight in the clever illustrations and correlations of animal characteristics to the manners advice.

Phrases like “Lions Don’t Need to Roar,” “Don’t Be a Whino Rhino,” and “Stand Tall like a Giraffe” will be forever fixed in a reader’s mind.

For caregivers and parents with demanding schedules, finding time to teach or mentor children is increasingly difficult. While teaching professionals are relied upon to teach academic skills like reading, writing, and arithmetic, the importance of social skills is often overlooked.

Learning social skills early, especially during childhood, can shape a child’s character and greatly impact his or her life.

Offered by The Elegant Way Foundation™, EWF’s vision is to teach, inspire, and motivate children.
The EWF motto:  “Doing Well by Doing Good Deeds”

“What a painless way for children to learn proper behavior, helpfulness, courtesy, and character! Wouldn’t be surprised if their parents didn’t pick up a few tips along the way.”
- Dianna Booher, author of Communicate With Confidence and Creating Personal Presence

“Every young person I know will be getting Tame Your Manners for their next birthday. In fact, I’m getting one for myself!”
- D.A. Benton, author of The CEO Difference and Lions Don’t Need to Roar

“Tame Your Manners is VERY clever, cute, and easy to visualize which will help kids remember these valuable lifetime skills. My son and I think this book is awesome!“
-Robin Groves, super mom and  super athlete

About the Author

Loretta Neff is president of The Elegant Way School of Protocol, a boutique etiquette firm represented in Fort Lauderdale, Naples, and West Palm Beach, Florida.
Loretta received a BA degree in 1989 and had her sights on the legal profession. But after being accepted to Thomas Cooley Law School at Michigan State University, she never attended, having found her real passion to be philanthropy through teaching the social graces.
While living in Cleveland, Ohio, Loretta joined a private club, and it was there that she was first invited to teach dinner manners and social graces to children of other members. From that early experience, referrals segued over the years into a host of other clients, from individuals to Fortune 500 companies, prompting her to sometimes refer to herself as “an accidental entrepreneur.” What was to be a postponement of law school became a thriving career—and a driving mission.
Loretta remains committed to the advancement of numerous charities, societies, and educational foundations and has taken her philanthropy to another level with the formation of The Elegant Way Foundation, a nonprofit organization intended to provide resources and training in social skills to other charities, missions, and schools as part of its mission.
