[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]2.5 is old enough to understand simple restaurant manners such as remaining seated. If your child is not yet capable of staying in his seat because he's supposed to, rather than because he's strapped in, then he's not ready for restaurants other than fast food. I'm not judging; it's pretty normal for a child that age to lack the attention span for a restaurant meal. I am fortunate to have a child who does well at restaurants (she loves food!), but she becomes restless after a while and one of us goes outside with her. Leisurely, relaxing restaurant meals are not really possible with most toddlers.

OP here. My child is not mature enough to understand simple restaurant manners. He has just transitioned from a nanny to a full time program outside the home and he's still adjusting to life outside of our home. That includes manners, socializing, etc. We are a family that likes to eat out, so eventually he'll give in and figure out what needs to happen or my husband/I will give in and eat at home more. Either way, it's going to be a struggle.[/quote]
