For
kids with self-control or social skills issues, dining out can be a
great practice ground. It provides many opportunities to work on
weaknesses. That includes everything from interacting with wait staff to
waiting patiently for the food to come out. It’s also a good way to
point out social cues that other people are sending. Being in any public
place, not just in restaurants, can help kids improve their social
skills and impulse control.
