A Children's Chinese

It’s difficult to keep small children entertained when you take them out to an adult restaurant. It’s important to keep them happy and involved so that they feel part of the occasion; even though everything is miles too big for them. For example, after my youngest niece finished her baby food, our waitress kept her entertained by feeding her pieces of watermelon which she absolutely loved. But bigger children who lose their cuteness aren’t that easily amused; especially if they’ve just managed to fall off their chair. Not everyone has an area for them to run around and explore or to make new friends; particularly if it’s dark or wet or in a confined space. Inevitably the video game device comes out so that they can detach themselves from our world and enter their own. But this discourages them from joining in with the group and devolves their contribution to the gathering. So, it’s important to involve them while you meet and eat.
