When eating out at restaurants one of the things that we have started doing is that as long as adults are eating at the table, the boys will remain in their high seats. And the reason that we have done this, is that we do not want the boys to get into the habit of going out and being walked around the restaurant. We want our kids to be respectful of the adults at the table and allow the adults to eat their meal as well.

We have all been out to eat before, watched families walking around the restaurants with their screaming children and not eating. Our goal is really to get the kids use to eating out at restaurants, but more importantly sitting in their seats and behaving themselves. Yes, the boys are still young, but part of raising your children is the repetitiveness.  So, the more that we can get use to being in restaurants the better off that we will be in the long run.

Take toys with you to help keep them occupy them, give them finger foods, or just talk with then while they are at the restaurant.  Teach them now, that their appropriate behavior is to remain seated while everyone eats and then they maybe excused when the meal is finished and there will not be problems down the road with your kids wanting to get up constantly while everyone is eating.
