Abstract
Parents are not aware of how effectively or ineffectively they are controlling their children's behavior in restaurants. At a local restaurant, 28 boys and 23 girls were randomly observed while dining with their parents. Children's responses to parents' management skills were rated as full compliance, some compliance, and non-compliance. A cross-tabulation of the presence of toys was made to demonstrate how they might aid in managing children. Parents' child-management methods were coded as: Talking, Coercing, Saying no, Rewarding, and Employing or Needing no discipline. The results show that 27% of parents observed either did not manage, or only somewhat effectively managed their children.
