[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your friends are not the norm despite the intense declarations of such by previous posters. Tablets aren’t something every parent uses to ignore their kids in public. [/quote] No they're not but I am always amazed at how commonplace it is. Purely anecdotal but I am comfortable saying that 60-70% of kids ages 3-6+ at a dining establishment have some sort of device in front of them. Sad.[/quote] +1. Yesterday in a birth month group, someone asked about tablets for 2.5 yo for prime day and I was disturbed how many people responded with something along the lines of "keeps them occupied at a restaurant". What happened to teaching conversation and simple games?[/quote] Yup. Not only what happened to conversation, games, using your brain, etc., but they're missing the whole "it's bad for their mental development" stuff that they either naively aren't aware of, or worse, they blindly ignore it.
