I agree with everything you said. I am writing a blog on good manners in general on my website right now. One of the problems today is that people don’t sit at the table together to eat at home anymore. That’s where they should be learning manners but aren’t. Also, too many of the parents are on their devices and don’t like it when they are disturbed which causes a lot more havoc with the kids.

Crystal, I really am amazed at what I have witnessed in restaurants. A lot of parents today just don’t seem to care if their child’s behavior is disturbing the people around them.

I thought I’ve witnessed bad behaviors in kids around me, but I think you have witnessed many things worse than I have. Just WOW! My kids do pretty good in public overall. They have their moments, but we do our best to nip it in the bud for sure.

My daughter’s Girl Scout troop leader always says that people should take care of their kids, that they are THEIR little darling, not the world’s. This is so true. Restaurants ae not playgrounds and while it may be age appropriate to allow your kids to be kids, please remember that other people are around. (Sorry for the ramble)

I so agree – more people need to have a little more class when it comes to eating out. I always wait for the parents to do something and sorry, I’m old school – so if they don’t, I’ll do it for them!

Great tips, but I’m not sure I can agree with no toys at the table (that is until its time to eat), if that is what the child needs to remain occupied and calm then so be it! Other than that, these are all great tips!

One thing that we did right was that my sons were always well behaved on the outside. I don’t know what we did, but when they were out of the house and other people were around, they rarely misbehaved. However they saved their tempers and misbehaving for when they were home. But I’d rather have that.

We struggle with taking our kids out. Two of the three have the best manners and behave while our youngest who is very hyper has a hard time sitting still long enough to eat. We teach manners at home and wherever we are but sadly we sometimes are “that family”. So when I see a family with a child who is acting out all I have to do is look at the mom/dad to realize she/he may be in the same boat. It’s not always about behaving or misbehaving.

Yes, so true and I have seen adults act worse than kids. Great tips.

I need to share this! Great information. I know it’s hard when they are small, but if you expect it every time, they will learn!
