Sweet Tea and Civility S1E3

This week on Sweet Tea & Civility, we’re talking about something simple but powerful: table etiquette and the value of slowing down to actually talk with your family at the table. It’s more than knowing where the fork goes. It’s about respect, presence, manners, and creating a space where real conversation can happen. Around the table, families connect, stories get shared, and kids learn how to listen, speak, and treat others with kindness. Pull up a chair, pour some sweet tea, and let’s bring a little civility back to the dinner table.
