The Peaceful Restaurant: Practicing Positive Behavior in a Restaurant (The Peaceful Outing Series)

“The Peaceful Restaurant,” written and illustrated by Annie Alwine, includes fun pictures and simple rhymes that teach positive behaviors in a restaurant. Children learn best from repetition and clearly communicated expectations of their behavior before they are in a new environment. Taking babies, toddlers and kids to a restaurant can be one of the most stressful times for parents. Children can become overstimulated and excited when they are out of their typical routines and in a new place, which can make teaching appropriate etiquette in the midst of a new experience very challenging. Don’t wait until you’re already dining out to beg them not to scream or run around the tables-- practice now. The pages are filled with diversity and inclusion of varying disabilities, sexual orientation, races, gender identities, body types and religions. Children and families can identify with characters while gaining exposure to a variety of cultures different from their own, encouraging acceptance and appreciation of others. The first children’s picture book of its kind, “The Peaceful Restaurant,” is part of a debut series from Behavior Books. The author includes a parent guide and is great for children ages 1 to 5 years old. Great for teachers' Social Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculums too. Accolades for The Peaceful Series: “Every baby registry should include this book series!”-- Natalie Rodriguez, M.D. Associate Clinical Professor, Family Medicine and Public Health, UC San Diego “We all have cringe-worthy moments in public with our kids. Explaining the behaviors we want to see in advance truly helps. These books make it fun so I don’t sound like a broken record.”-- Valerie Dorrian, M.A., CCC-SLP, Pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist & Mom of Two “These books prepare your kids for new adventures in advance while keeping your child’s attention. I highly recommend making this series part of your bedtime routines.” -- Joel E. Hershey, M.D., Fellow in the American Academy of Pediatrics
