[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How well do these kids know each other? Is it just the parents are friends and the kids are expected to socialize based on that. I think that gets tricky as the kids get older. I am not excusing the behavior but in a few more years the kids will likely not attend that type of event.[/quote] Doesn’t matter. Functioning in a social setting is a life skill. These kids will grow up to be adults who need to be able to make small talk with the guests seated at the same table as they are at a wedding reception, or with colleagues at work events and conferences. They need to navigate job interviews. You have to teach them how to do this. It’s a huge disservice to just let them zone out on their phone in a social setting. [/quote]
