[quote=Anonymous]It can be taught if modeled a lot. My DH grew up in a family that never had dinner parties. He had no idea what that's like and was general awkward with more than 2 ppl at a time. I grew up with a ton of people always over at the table. Learned to toast at a young age, how to host, how to check on guests. After 15 years together, DH has become a great, attentive host. He knows what to do and who to talk to etc. He's more introverted in general but tells a good story and he knows how to manage it now. We have people over for dinner often now with kids and my WS kids know how to behave, sit at the table, ask the grownups questions. The 4th grader will choose to stay at the table and talk with grownups instead of playing with kids after they are all excused post the meal. She is generally an anxious kid in new situations but at home with people over she is in her element. [/quote]
