[quote=Anonymous]My daughter had a bad year at 4; otherwise she's generally been great in public. BUT... a lot of work and preparation went into making this happen. We started eating outside the house about a week after she was born and never really stopped. I always went places with everything we might need - formula, extra diapers, extra outfit, snacks, stuff to do, etc. And we picked restaurants and mealtimes carefully so that we weren't wasting our "good behavior time" waiting for a table. We generally stuck to our sleep/nap schedule so she wasn't going into something overtired. We taught her indoor voice vs. outdoor voice, and different behavior standards for different places. I can count on one hand the times she's misbehaved in public and she's 10. To be fair, she is neurotypical and fairly easygoing/resilient by nature so we lucked out in that aspect.[/quote]
