 Are you resistant to dine out with your toddler? As parents, we try
to teach our toddlers proper table manners. Every dinner in our homes
serves as a lesson in what is expected of our children when they are at
the table. There comes a time though, when you have to make a
transition and graduate into public dining.
Many parents avoid
restaurant eating all together during the toddler years. Dining out
with your toddler can be a pleasurable time. You just have to make the
commitment to carry your home lessons out into the world.

I remember sitting at a restaurant with my husband and overhearing a screaming child. I also remember, back before I had a child, how I jokingly said to my husband "If that were me, I'd beat the living crap out of my child". I used to joke about my so-called 'hit first, ask questions later' rule with my friends and it always brought about some laughter. Was I kidding back then? Probably not, because back then I was talking purely out of ignorance, and a little experience.

Who knew that the moment your little boo-boo, sweetheart baby turns into a toddler that all moms gain a second pair of eyes in the back of their heads? I found myself with my back to the bathroom mirror, twisting myself about to view the back of my head looking for them this morning. I SWEAR they are there. Not only have my new pair of eyes helped me keep track of my 18 month old's whereabouts, but these eyes came with a better understanding of a new World I just recently entered - Toddler World.

 Your toddler is at a busy time in his life. Getting a toddler to sit down for a formal meal can be like herding cats; a lesson in futility. But, just because your toddler doesn’t sit and consume a full meal doesn’t mean they can’t get a well-rounded diet. Nothing is better for an on-the-go child than finger foods. They are fun, they are easy and they can be nutritious.

Your toddler is in the middle of a phenomenal growth period. Between 12 and 36 months toddlers experience physical and mental development that rivals just about any other period in their lives. Play is an important element in your child’s development. How your toddler plays reflects their emerging abilities and awareness of themselves and others. You can aid this development by being aware of what your toddler learns from playtime activities and providing toys and items that help with their development.
