    Sedatives. Kidding… sort of. 😉 I make sure the kids have some sort of snack, either before we go in or if it’s a restaurant we’re familiar with we ask for crackers or applesauce or something for them to munch on while the rest of the meal is being prepared. Also, crayons and paper placemats are awesome.
