It’s a lot more common these days to see children in restaurants with their parents, especially when on holiday. It’s tough trying to keep a family all together in one place, and even tougher trying to occupy smaller children when the food is taking a while to arrive, or you haven’t quite finished your meal.

Devices like iPads and smartphones are great for times like this when you just need 5 minute’s peace. Please, please, please don’t assume that everyone else in the restaurant wants to listen to Doc McStuffins at full volume, though. Buy some headphones, you can get some great kid’s ones, we beg you.
