Executive Summary on Kid Toddler By Sharon Hurley Hall

Many parenting books advise against eating out with young children. Their short attention span and need to be involved in everything will mean a nightmare for you, they say.
They’re wrong.
Here are a few tips to make sure that you can do it too. First of all, make sure you choose a family-friendly restaurant. Look out for easily accessible (and clean) high chairs, a willingness to warm milk, free bibs and baby food (available at some rest stops and motorway service stations) and entertainment for your child in the form of crayons and paper or a soft play area.
Choose your time carefully. Ideally, you should arrive half an hour or so before your child’s regular mealtime, so that their food arrives on time. Children are bad at waiting, so you’ll need a food backup in case your order is late.
When placing your order, ask for your child’s meal to be delivered first. That way, you can do any cutting up that’s required and start the feeding process early and you’ll be free to focus on your own meal when it arrives.
Make dining out interesting for your child. Talk about what you’re going to order; point out what waiters and waitresses are doing; take a tour of the salad bar; discuss whatever’s on the walls.
As a backup, take some entertainment with you. Crayons and paper, a drawing board toy and a couple of books are often enough to distract your child from any thoughts of mayhem.
