Fun screen free restaurant experience!
We regularly take our 22-month-old to restaurants and have done since he was a baby! My husband and I are both aligned on no screens at mealtimes, and we’ve found that dining out with a toddler can work really well when you plan around their needs. Our top tips: ⏱️ Don’t expect them to stay out dining for hours. 🥝 Bring a snack (our son is a foodie!) to keep them going while waiting for food. 👨🍳 Check the menu in advance and plan what they’ll eat. 📚Take a book or small toy and bring it out only when needed to keep them engaged. 🗣️Talk to them and actively engage to hold their attention. With a little preparation and realistic expectations, eating out as a family can be enjoyable for everyone. 🤍 Do you dine out with your children? If so, how do you find the experience?
