[quote=Anonymous]I grew up being able to read at breakfast and lunch. Supper (as we called it!) when my dad was there- no. So I did this with my own kids for years. At bday dinners the kids could decide “books” as a special treat. And if my DH wasn’t home, we all read. When my kids would have a friend over and they’d be having a snack or early dinner my kids would lead their friend to the comic book shelf and encourage them to peruse one while eating- so they could! Haha. At some point during later elementary school years we all just started reading even at dinner. We don’t read when grandparents or anyone else is over. I know it’s supposed to be healthier to mindfully focus on your plate but I’ve been reading and eating my whole life and have done okay I think. No phones or devices- just books, the newspaper, magazines, comic books. OP- are you wondering whether to allow it?[/quote]
