Whether you want to be able to enjoy adult conversation and not have to be interrupted to attend to your preschooler playing under the table, or your throat is sore and you just don’t have it in you to yell across the room to your 5 year old gawking at the dessert display, or you are trying to make a good impression on the new people in the neighborhood who you have invited over for a backyard picnic, or you just want to have adult conversation with your spouse and don’t have the energy to cook; you CAN have delightful restaurant experiences with your children, WHATEVER THEIR AGES. It just takes planning and follow-through and before you know it, dining out with the kids will be a relaxing and refreshing treat every time.
It’s not just about enjoying a night out, or having nice manners, or not annoying the other patrons in the place; it’s about teaching our kids that there are expectations for their behavior in certain places and teaching them self-control. Self-regulation is an incredibly important life skill that our children must learn for life success. Dining out is an excellent opportunity to teach these skills while also enjoying a night out as a family.
Using Ms. Mia’s Prep Talks, Take-Along Bags, and Distraction Games, you can take any kid, any age, anywhere. No electronics please. It doesn’t teach nice manners to have their attention so focused on an electronic device that you have to repeat questions three times before they realize you are talking to them. You WILL enjoy meals out again. I promise. I money-back guarantee it. And your children will learn life skills that will benefit them forever.
