[quote=Anonymous]I would venture that my 4.5 year old is actually on the high end of the scale as far as being chill at restaurants but it can swing wildly depending on hunger and tiredness. Top tips: Look at the menu before hand so you can order as soon as a server comes to your table. Also so both parents know what the other wants in case they have had to step away with kiddo. When the food arrives, ask for the bill when the food comes if you’re not going to order more. Waiting for food and waiting for the bill are the hardest periods and you can just eliminate a lot of it. For breakfast, give them a little something before. A banana from the lobby yesterday, crackers, anything but an empty tummy waiting at a restaurant. I like to bring some little toys and drawing stuff. When that fails, take turns taking kiddos for walks. If you’ve done the order planning and have phones, you won’t miss the food coming or anything. [/quote]
