[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here and yes, I posted because I was genuinely shocked. I didn’t think all toddlers used tablets, let alone at a kid centered breakfast.[/quote]

NP here. The short answer is that people don't want to have to watch/deal with their kids so a screen is the easier way to deal with them. There's a serious lack of discipline in young children these days, so the easy way is stick a screen in front of them so they "behave."

I know several other couples that literally never let their child cry/whine for more than a few seconds (they also cosleep no surprise). I think this has to do with people having fewer children and later and thus they're more of a "rare commodity" so they tend to get spoiled.  They think appeasing them is one way to make them "happy." There are other issues at play as well like adults tend to work more hours these days and want to be able to relax when not at work. The bottom line is that yes we all know the parents who stick an ipad in front of their kids during entire meals and the poor kid just stares like a zombie. There aren't long term studies to show it yet but I think undoubtedly these kids will have "impaired" social skills later in life.[/quote]
