As we enter December, the weather is obviously getting cooler. It is a blessing to enjoy a warm hot pot and warm up your body!

But there are similar news that children accidentally get burned when they go to a hot pot restaurant to eat happily!

Parents must pay attention to certain safety and etiquette when taking children to a restaurant. Here’s a reminder!

Dining rules, sit on a chair to eat!

When it comes to meal safety, parents must first think about why foreign children seem to be more willing to sit down and eat, but Taiwanese children cannot sit still?

Parents should help their children form a habit from an early age and let them know that whenever it is time to eat, they must sit in a high chair, so that they will not want to get down and run after eating a few mouthfuls of food.

Parents also need to understand that when their children are full, they are unlikely to sit on the chair obediently. Therefore, parents should hurry up. For example, while mommy is feeding her child, dad should eat quickly. After the child is full,

, it’s up to dad to take the kid around, and it’s mommy’s meal time.

However, what we often see is that parents leave their 3- and 4-year-old brothers and sisters to take care of their 7 and 8-year-old brothers and sisters. As a result, the children run around the restaurant. CEO Lin Yueqin reminded that the restaurant is a public house*

Children must not be allowed to run in ** places, not to mention that the service staff in the restaurant are still holding hot soup and hot water in their hands. In addition, the floor of the restaurant may be slippery. It is really dangerous to run around like this.

Dining habits should be cultivated since childhood, not taught when you are older!

Induction stove heating is safer. If you want to take your children to a hot pot restaurant, CEO Lin Yueqin recommends choosing a restaurant that uses induction stove heating instead of direct fire cooking.

When dining, be sure to let children sit inside and adults sit outside, and choose a table close to the door and easy to escape.

In addition, children's chairs should be placed away from power cords and appliances. Otherwise, in the event of an emergency, adults may be able to save themselves, but children will not be able to react.

Avoid taking children to food courts. In addition to general restaurants, food courts in department stores are also one of the dining options for many parents. However, here parents have to carry the freshly cooked food from the stalls back to their seats. This is often seen

Customers who were intently studying the menu raised their hands or turned around and bumped into passers-by carrying piping hot food.

Therefore, CEO Lin Yueqin’s approach is that when children are still very young, they usually do not take them to food courts to eat because the risk is too high!

If you really go to the food court to dine, you will not sit at a table near the aisle where people come and go, and ask your children to sit still and not move!

Parent-child restaurants are another option. Another option for taking children out to eat now is "parent-child restaurants." Although well-designed parent-child restaurants are relatively safe for children, the principle remains the same!

Parents must let their children know that they can leave the dining chair only after finishing the meal.

When children play in the game area of ??a parent-child restaurant, they must be within the sight of their parents so that their parents can pay attention at all times to avoid danger.

If you do these 3 things, you can eat out with your kids without making a fuss!

When dining out, it is inevitable that you will encounter children who make a lot of noise in the restaurant. Although as parents of children, we can understand that parenting is not easy and children are always in trouble, but parents cannot always control or let it go. Lin

CEO Yueqin gives the following advice to such parents: Point 1. Keep your children energetic before going out. Children will be less prone to crying when they are full of sleep. Therefore, CEO Lin Yueqin usually takes the children out for meals when they are in a better mental state.

For example, take a good nap at home in the afternoon and then go out for dinner in the evening.

If it is a wedding banquet at noon, the child will be allowed to sleep for a short period of time in the morning.

Wedding banquets usually last for more than 3 hours. Parents can take their children to walk around outside first, and then sit down when the banquet is almost about to start.
