re: Introducing Children To Fine Dining.

My daughter was restaurant worthy from 3 on, never a problem, she loved to people watch, so her chair always faced toward the dining area. She loved to eat almost anything we put in front of her.

My son, 5 years later, was a different story. We didn't feel safe till he was 8 or 9, he was full of mischief and no one was safe. He would disappear from our table in a second and reappear at someones else, and he lived on Cocoa Pebbles and little else.

Same parents, but 2 children entirely different experiences.

But if a parent has a child misbehaving it is their responsibility to handle it and not bother others. Period.
