Same here with our son. 2,5 years old and we bring him to restaurants or friends with ease. We don’t entertain him with a phone or screen.

He also sits with us, eats with us. Sometimes we do bring a toy car, or pencils for him to draw. But that’s it.

Great side effect is that he eats everything. From olives to onions. He sees us eating and he mimics. That’s the whole parenting game imho.

I don’t believe you are lucky. You’ve simply set the standard for your child, by _not_ providing a screen for every situation.

Well done:-)



I had 5. Two could do restaurants. Two not so well. For the other, we brought toy cars and ordered piles of mashed potatoes for him to drive thru.

Brilliant! Way better than screens in my opinion.
