　　Whether it's dinner at a friend's house or a business meeting over lunch, we judge people 1 to their table manners. 2 what can you do if your kids are burping(打饱嗝) and slurping(出声地吃东西) their way through dinner?

　　Dr. Alex Packer, psychologist and the author of How Rude, The Teenagers Guide to Good Manners, Proper Behavior, and Not Grossing People Out, recommends(推荐) these seven steps to 3 your child on the road to good manners:

　　Look for the good. 4 pointing out all the things your child does wrong, point out what she does 5 . Say, “I was so proud of you when we went to the Joneses for dinner. It was wonderful the way you served yourself when the platter(主菜盘) passed by.”

　　Don't turn dinner into a/an 6 “lecture time.” That will turn kids off not only to manners, but to dinner, and to you, too.

　　Check your own example. Don't show up for dinner in just your underwear(内衣) 7 you want your kids to do the same.

　　Don't label(贴标签) your child as a slob(粗俗平庸的人). 8 , point out the behavior in a neutral(中立的), practical way. For example: “It's a good idea to unfold your napkin so if food falls you won't dirty your clothes.”

　　Approach manners as a game. One night a week, try to have a somewhat more 9 dinner. Try dressing up, serve a special meal, and expect more formal manners. That will help improve your kids' social graces(风度).

　　Make kids part of the tradition. Invite guests 10 and let kids help serve hors d'oeuvres(餐前开胃小吃). This helps them indirectly learn about the manners that surround eating.

　　Try dining out once in a while. Fast food restaurants 11 make a difference. Try a nice restaurant and allow kids to order their own food, and help in paying the bill and figuring out the tip.

　　And Dr. Packer says not to lose heart if your kids' manners at home are 12 . “Often these same kids show very good behavior outside the house. If you're getting positive reports from outside the home, that's great. You can trust them.”
