The Manners Mom

National and regional media look to Leah Ingram for fresh presentations on everything etiquette--from holiday gifts to weddings and celebrations to keeping your child's finger out of his nose at inopportune times. Leah’s lively advice provides new ways to think about acting polite.

The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Health Magazine and more have all quoted Leah on her unique approach to etiquette and manners, and she provides advice to parents about raising polite children in a rude world as The Manners Mom (www.mannersmom.com).

Media-trained while an editor at Woman’s Day Special Interest Publications from 1998-2000, Leah quickly became the go-to gal for demonstrating gift ideas, gift-giving advice and general etiquette on such programs as CNN’s Airport Network, "Philly After Midnight," News 12 New Jersey, "Good Day New York" and Woman’s Day Television. She's a frequent guest on "Good Day Philadelphia"; her most recent segment focused on how to send your kids back to school with good manners.
