Kitchen rules for kids - 2 Hello! I want to talk to my kids. Are these expressions stylistically and lexically correct? Could you please correct to make them sounds more naturally? it's time to eat It's very good for little kids Don't you want some more? Eat when everyone else eats or when your parents say you can eat / Start eating when everyone else does – or when given the OK to start. Wait until everyone is served before eating / Wait until everyone is seated to start eating. Stay seated and sit up straight. Sit still, don’t wiggle. Chew with your mouth closed. Never chew with your mouth open. Don’t talk with food in your mouth. Never stuff your mouth. Don’t talk until you’ve swallowed. Use a napkin. Say please and thank you. Never reach to get something. / Instead of reaching ask for the food to be passed to you. / Say “Please pass the...- ” instead of reaching The polite way to ask for food: “Please pass the potatoes” rather than “I want more potatoes!” Don’t make rude noises like burping or slurping.

The only thing that I would change is instead of saying "don't you want some more?" I would say "Do you want some more?" Everything else sounds completely natural.

All your expressions sound proper and correct. They are the same rules I tried to instill in my children. The only change I would make is with this sentence, "It's very good for little kids". If you are talking about the food, you could tell your children it is "healthy", "nutritious" or "tasty" instead of just "good". Hope this helps
