Your kids only need tablets to stay quiet at the dinner table because you give them the tablet. We've been taking our kids to restaurants since they were babies and not once have we given them a tablet. Etch-a-sketch or coloring books to pass the time while they wait for their food, absolutely, but never a tablet.[/quote]

PP here who takes my children to restaurants and gets compliments on their behavior. I laugh at posters looking sternly down their noses at *gasp* tablets. [insert pearl clutching here]

Kids on tablets can color, do etch-a-sketch, play hangman, practice math facts, read a book, etc. Toting around physical crayons or etch-a-sketch is mainly different in how much crap the family totes around. My kids don’t need tablets all the time but I do not look down on kids/families who have and use them quietly in restaurants. The number of times an adult with a phone is more disruptive in a restaurant than a child on a tablet is mot small.[/quote]
