Is Modern Grace Right for Your Family?

This course is perfect for you if...

This is for you if...

  • Your daughter is 9-12 and navigating new social situations
  • You want to teach confidence, not just compliance
  • You're looking for quality time with meaningful conversations
  • You want practical scripts, not just theory
  • You believe manners should empower, not diminish

You might wait if...

  • Your daughter is under 8 or over 14
  • You're looking for a quick fix (real change takes practice)
  • You want your daughter to do this alone
  • You prefer traditional 'rules-based' etiquette
  • You don't have 30 minutes/week for parent-child time

How It Works

Learn Together

Each week, sit down with your daughter for a 30-minute module. Read the parent guidance first, then explore the content together.

2

Practice & Discuss

A Different Kind of Etiquette

"Good manners are not about being 'nice' or quiet. They are about awareness, respect, and agency."
1

Manners are tools, not rules

Social skills are instruments for navigating the world, not rigid requirements to follow blindly.

2

Respect goes both directions

True courtesy involves both giving and expecting respect in return.

3

Kindness does not require self-sacrifice

Being considerate of others never means diminishing yourself.

4

Confidence and courtesy can coexist

Speaking up and being polite are not opposites—they're partners.

5

Culture matters—and cultures evolve

Understanding context while embracing positive change.

What You'll Help Her Learn

Through guided conversations, modeling, and practice, you'll help your daughter develop these essential skills.

Help her move through the world with ease

Teach her to treat others with intentional respect

Coach her to hold her own without aggression or apology

Guide her to understand social codes so she can choose how to use them

What Mothers Are Saying

Real transformations from families who found their grace.

"My daughter went from avoiding eye contact to confidently introducing herself to adults. The transformation has been remarkable."

SM

Sarah M.

Mother of 11-year-old

"Finally, a course that teaches manners without the outdated 'be a good girl' messaging. My daughter feels empowered, not diminished."

JL

Jennifer L.

Mother of 10-year-old

"The boundary-setting module alone was worth it. My daughter now knows how to say no politely but firmly."

RC

Rachel C.

Mother of 12-year-old

"We've tried other etiquette programs, but they felt stuffy and outdated. Modern Grace is different—it's about empowerment, not perfection. My daughter actually looks forward to our sessions!"

MK

Michelle K.

Mother of 9-year-old

"The scripts are gold. When my daughter had a conflict with a friend, she used what she learned and handled it beautifully. I was so proud."

AT

Amanda T.

Mother of 11-year-old

"Dr. Ely's approach is refreshing. This isn't about making girls smaller or quieter—it's about giving them tools to take up space confidently and kindly."

Lisa R.

Mother of 12-year-old

Dr. Ely Schneider

Hi, I'm Dr. Ely Schneider

Licensed Psychologist • PhD, HSPP, LP

I created Modern Grace because I saw too many girls being taught to be "nice" at the expense of their own voice. In my clinical work, I kept meeting bright, capable girls who had learned to shrink—to prioritize others' comfort over their own boundaries. This course is what I wish existed: a way to teach social confidence that empowers rather than diminishes.
