Taking the baby out for dinner, the rich dishes on the dining table can't catch the child's attention at all. He has no interest in those nutritious vegetables, fruits and meat. He looks around for a while, sucks his fingers with relish, screams like a wolf for a while, and walks around when he gets the chance. Anyway, he just won't sit down and fill his stomach. What should you do in the face of such a baby?

although you know that little guy will make a fool of yourself and make trouble for you when he arrives at the restaurant, you can't completely avoid taking him out to eat. Moreover, experts also believe that eating out is an essential lesson in the long-term course of teaching children manners. So don't exempt your child from this social practice because of your fear. Children are not the only ones who need to learn how to eat, and so are adults. After having children, they will no longer enjoy delicious food in restaurants so leisurely. They should learn how to help children hold toys, protect them and pay attention to their quiet eating. But this doesn't mean that every time you go out to eat, you should be ready, and always focus on your children. As long as you are prepared in advance, you can fully enjoy the food moment. Come on! Let's see what we should do together. Here, we provide you with five strategies that can make your children happy and people who eat with you happy:

Choose the right place to eat-it's wisest to avoid the peak of eating and choose a non-upscale restaurant.

In many cases, the restaurant you choose and the time when you arrive at the restaurant can determine whether this meal can end happily. Therefore, it is the wisest decision to avoid the rush hour and choose a non-upscale restaurant. In this way, not only the restaurant service is very fast, but also the waiters or other diners will not be unhappy because of some confusion caused by children.

So how can you know at the first glance whether you have chosen a restaurant suitable for children? First of all, it depends on the attitude of the waiter, whether they smile at the children or shrink back. If she gives the children a bag of brushes, you can be absolutely sure that children are welcome here. You can also check other situations. For example, instead of tablecloths, they spread mats suitable for children to doodle casually. The restaurant has a row of highchairs, and even a children's menu, as well as fish tanks or jukeboxes. These arrangements with family atmosphere can make children adapt quickly and feel safe. He won't fidget or start crying because of fear or discomfort.

Avoid long and boring waiting ―― Distract your baby's attention while waiting, and let him happily wait for the food to be served.

even if the children are in a happy mood and very cooperative when they first enter the restaurant, I believe this situation will not last long. The longer you stay in a restaurant, the higher the chance of "disaster". Therefore, every time you go out to eat, you'd better follow a rule: call in advance to make a reservation, and let the restaurant prepare the tables and chairs and order the food first. When you get there, everything is ready, and you can eat and leave in half an hour.

If it's neither your style nor the restaurant's rules to make a detailed plan in advance, all you can do is to wait or order some drinks and snacks for your child first, but either method has its drawbacks: boring waiting for your child won't work, but if snacks and drinks are already full, it's estimated that the child can't eat any more. Let me give you a suggestion. Before the meal is served, you can prepare some toys or other things to distract the children. Playing a puppet game with him, or telling a fairy tale together, can beat the boredom before meals and make children happily wait for meals to be served. Take your baby's favorite things with you-fairy tales, brushes, dolls and other favorite little things for children.

in fact, the best advice for taking young children to a restaurant is the famous slogan: always be ready. That is to say, you should bring fairy tale books, brushes, dolls and other little things that children like best. In addition to preparing these recreational materials, you can also bring some children's favorite tableware, just like Niu Niu's mother. Because she is worried that her 2-month-old daughter is not used to restaurants, she always prepares her favorite spoon and a small bowl that is not afraid of falling, and she must bring three spoons every time. If one falls on the ground, she will have a clean one to use immediately. In addition, don't forget to bring children's bibs and cups.

Before serving, you can show your child the surrounding scenery. Instead of sitting at the table and waiting, it is better to show your child around before he starts to get upset. Many restaurants have beautiful big fish tanks, and all kinds of fish, shrimp and crabs. By the way, it's not bad to teach children about some creatures! In addition, many restaurants are well decorated, with small bridges and flowing water, as well as bamboo chairs. Take the baby to visit some, let him touch the stone mill and see the peppers, which not only knows the scenery, but also kills two birds with one stone.

Give up when it's time to give up ―― If intuition tells you that children can't keep quiet, maybe leaving is the best way. No matter how hard you try, there will always be times when you can't control the situation. Once, every day, my mother took me to a new place for dinner. Almost as soon as I sat down, trouble came. Tian Tian Ma recalled: "The high chair in the restaurant was too short, and the child's chin just reached the table, which made her very uncomfortable and began to be agitated. I knew that she would not be quiet for a while. Although the food had already been served at this time, we decided to pack up and eat at home." If intuition tells you that children can't keep quiet, maybe leaving is the best way.
