How many of you have kids who will sit still for at least 30 minutes whilst waiting for food to arrive whenever you eat out?
If you do, what is your secret??!!!
For us, it’s either we talk to them (which we already do a whole damn lot! Or shut them up with some distractors…..). In my handbag, I keep a small pouch of little tiny cars and when necessary, I surprise them with it. They’re not the matchbox sized cars (too heavy) but much, much smaller and weigh close to nothing.
Broom-Broom……
T2’s not so interested in cars but she’s interested in the physics behind the wheels and movement.
But very soon after, she decided that posing for the camera as a model was much more fun….
Different kids, different interests……
How do you distract your kids at the dining table outside?

iPhone n iPad. If not, then a bucket of ice 😉
I bring a stash of paper and colour pencils for free expression. Or we fold boats and aeroplanes. I like the idea of your cars but I will have to get identical ones else they start fighting for the same darn one.
1. bring small toys n i will be away internet-ing
2. after he gets bored, we start a conversation like..LOok at the plant. can u tell me what makes up the plant, or what do u think the ingredients were… r u sure..let’s ask the waiter..bla bla.
trust me..any food chain that takes more than 15 mins to serve is SLOW n i wont be returning
i hardly carry anything else because water tumbler for us all plus 2 of them is already too heavy to handle. That lil car looks like a great idea ler!! Where did u get them?
when they were much younger, i bring out toys to distract them. now, i don’t and i guess i’m lucky that they sit still (i dont bring out the i-gadgets)…i only find them entertaining themselves with the utensils and what nots on the table. and yes, they do fight now and then but i will ignore them or threaten them to go home.
