How To: Rules for Shopping in a Mall or Outdoor Plaza with Mitchell
Introduction
Shopping in a mall or outdoor plaza can be a fun adventure for both you and Mitchell. However, it’s important to follow some specific rules to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Here are the essential guidelines to keep in mind.
Rule 1: Keep Mitchell in His Pampers
Important Reminder: Mitchell must always wear his Pampers during the outing.
Why It Matters: Even if you see him as a friend, he looks up to you, and it’s important to maintain this structure for his comfort and safety.
Potty Use Policy: Under no circumstances should he use the potty; his Pampers are there for that purpose.
Rule 2: Order Food for Mitchell
Why It Matters: Mitchell is still young and needs your guidance when it comes to food choices.
Consequence: Avoid any situations where he might want to order something inappropriate, like PG-13 movies or adult meals. Always choose kid-friendly options.
Rule 3: Bottle Consumption
Hourly Requirement: Mitchell needs to have his bottle at the top of every hour.
Public Consumption: Ensure that he drinks his bottle in public areas, not in the car or private places. This helps him feel included in the outing.
Rule 4: Stay Close and Engage
Why It Matters: Keeping Mitchell close ensures his safety and helps you keep track of him.
Engagement: Encourage him to explore the mall or plaza with you, but always maintain a watchful eye.
Rule 5: Use Indoor Voices
Why It Matters: Speaking softly helps maintain a pleasant shopping environment for everyone.
Consequence: If he shouts or makes loud noises, it may disturb other shoppers, and you could be asked to leave the area.
By following these rules, you can help ensure that shopping with Mitchell in a mall or outdoor plaza is a great experience while keeping him safe and engaged. Remember, good behavior leads to more enjoyable outings!
