Teach Your Child How to Order in Restaurants

Help your child practice ordering food by roleplaying in restaurants at home. Incorporate more creativity and fun by crafting your own menus or food together for the experience!
Let them first gain practice by attending family-friendly restaurants with relaxed atmospheres.
Help your child feel prepared by talking to them about the ordering process, such as the questions a waitstaff may ask them.
When you go out to eat, get in the habit of going over menus together so they can improve their skills of finding their favorites – even if it's just by the picture!
Make restaurant outings a fun family activity and reward your child for good ordering habits! (Desert, anyone?!)

What’s your child’s favorite thing to eat or their go-to menu item? Help them order it the next time you dine out, and let us know how it goes!
