Also, you should continue to attend restaurants, re-affirming to them each time the expected behaviour. Kids like to get control of situations like that, and all the better if they get it to the point they don't have to go any more. Yes, I agree with the practicing at home.

It made the biggest difference. He does amazingly well in a booth since he can stand, turn, sit, lie down....all stuff that just keeps him busy during the meal. Give it a try and let me know how monkey does. Hi Aimee, We finally realized that we could take out our son (2.5 at the time) if we went to a restaurant that had booths!

As the mom of a 13 and 10-year-old who are no angels, our girls have always behaved extremely well in restaurants, and we've never really hesitated to take them almost anywhere. I firmly believe a big part of their good behavior in restaurants was just practicing, practicing, practicing in various restaurants that required them to stay in their seats and not create too much of a fuss. Despite the occasional rushed endings (to be expected, really!), if children are asked consistently and frequently to behave well in restaurants, they will learn to do so. Having said that, Red Robin and IHOP are probably easier places to practice than a 4-star restaurant when you're dealing with impatient toddlers! ;-) Whatever you do, don’t STOP taking the monkey out with you!

I love the ways you prepare. Fire House Subs is about as high class as we have tried with our two year old. What great tips! I love the ways you prepare.
