Is parenting really more challenging these days? Our generation is the first to contend with the reality of raising children in the age of social media, and the decisions we make can have long-lasting and far-reaching effects.

Why do parents gravitate toward social media and share so much? What are the drawbacks and benefits for parents and for children, whose personal brand we craft from birth? What role should consent play in parents' social media practices? And how might the content we share help or hinder our adult relationships? Join Dr. Sarah Davis and Evie Granville, M.Ed., the authors of Modern Manners for Moms & Dads: Practical Parenting Solutions for Sticky Social Situations, for a timely conversation on "sharenting."

Practical Parenting Solutions for Sticky Social Situations (For Kids 0–5) (Parenting etiquette, Good manners, & Child rearing tips)

“Evie and Sarah artfully marry expert etiquette and parenting advice in a fun, modern, and valuable way.” ―Heidi Dulebohn, international cultural consultant and etiquette expert

#1 New Release in Etiquette Guides & Advice and Children's Studies

Parenting doesn’t happen in a bubble, but you wouldn’t know that from other parenting books. Own this humorous, often irreverent take on what parenting in public is really like.

Real-world advice on embarrassing moments parents with young kids face every day. When you’re raising kids, you’re thrown into dilemmas you could never have dreamed up. A diaper disaster in the middle seat during take-off. Naked baby bath photos your mother-in-law posts online without permission. An unexpected gift that leads to a tantrum in front of the gift-giver. How can you turn these into opportunities to be an A+ parent and friend, role model, and member of your community?

They've done the research so you don't have to. Authors Sarah Davis, Ed.D., and Evie Granville, M.Ed., are educators, manners mavens, and creators of a blog and podcast dedicated to parenting etiquette. Their two families total six young kids. Modern Manners unpacks the complicated social code for parents of kids ages 0 to 5. Discover a public parenting style within a unique framework, analyze your gut reactions to sticky situations, and choose a course of action that balances the needs of parent, child and others.

Written by and for busy parents, this guide includes parenting tips, lists, charts, pop quizzes, personal anecdotes, and practical advice. Get child rearing guidance from real experts on:

Leading your family with kindness and awareness

Setting a good example (and realistic expectations) for little ones

Maintaining friendships and good communication

If you are a fan of etiquette books like A Kid’s Guide to Manners, Dude That’s Rude, or 365 Manners Kids Should Know, you’ll love Modern Manners for Moms & Dads (Kids 0–5).

The publisher issues a notice regarding a design error occurring in the chart “Is Your Kid Too Sick to Leave the House?” on page 77 of the print book (chapter 2 in the eBook). The chart should advise against leaving the house with a child with a temperature of 100.4 and above. As stated by the authors, this book is not intended as a substitute for the medical advice of physicians. The reader should regularly consult a physician in matters relating to their health (and their children's) and particularly with respect to any symptoms that may require diagnosis or medical attention. The authors and publisher advise readers to take full responsibility for their safety.

Evie Granville, M.Ed., and Sarah Davis, Ed.D., are etiquette experts whose advice reaches nearly 600,000 parents and caregivers each month and has been featured by Parents, MSN, The Washington Post, Associated Press, Reader’s Digest, and other major media outlets. They are also the creators of the Solar System Parenting Framework and Quiz, which help parents and caregivers learn how to prioritize their own needs, their child’s, and everyone else’s in social situations. The framework provides parents with tools to develop their confidence, character, and connections.

Educators and mothers to six young kids between them, Evie and Sarah have a combined expertise in early child development, education, communication, and etiquette. Sarah holds a doctorate in education from Texas A&M University, a master's in education from the University of San Diego, and a bachelor's from Skidmore College.
