[quote=Anonymous]Well I have two neurotypical, high-achieving, self-motivated girls. So yeah, they were always good with puzzles and books on airplanes. We never let them have a phone or iPad at a restaurant, but I'd hand them a coloring book. I always carry a little sudoku book in my purse, and even today I'll pass it to my 12 or 14 year old. They have phones and iPads now, but they will voluntarily close them when we play a family game or watch The Amazing Race, and talk about how much better it feels to be off screens. Partly that's modeling and parenting, and partly it's just luck. You know how the universe doesn't give you more than you can handle? Maybe the universe gave us easy kids because we couldn't handle harder ones. I'm not sure that judging other parents is anything other than a failure of compassion and imagination.[/quote]
