[quote=Anonymous]I take my 18 mo and 3 yo to Catholic mass. I actually sit near the front where they can see what is going on. We only bring water, although I do bring some small toys - like a doll, a book, and a bracelet. I let the 3 yo give the offering, which she is super excited about. Not sure how long you have been taking your DC, but I found it gets better when I am going regularly as they know what to expect and what is expected of them. It also helps when we go to the family mass because they like seeing other kids. Going to family mass, I also find myself feeling less stressed about the experience when I know other parents are going through the same thing. My kids do ok until the last 10 min, then it gets hard. At that point, I usually bribe them by promising a treat if they behave until we get home - nothing big, but something they really like, like a granola bar or yogurt squeeze-pack or goldfish. The bribe works for the 3 yo, not so much for the 18 mo. [/quote]
