[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We allow it. No devices, but books are fine. It's not every meal, but I'll never say no to a kid's nose in a book.[/quote]

While it may be better for the brain, it is every bit just as rude to be engaged in a book as a device. And every bit as distracting with the potential to cause delays even if you are alone. There are indeed many times when it would be better parenting to say "no to a kids nose in a book".[/quote]
Maybe better parenting to YOU. Not better parenting to every kid or every situation. MYOB. [/quote]

This is why kids are mostly brats and uncivilized these days. Manners used to be pretty universally understood and it mattered that we brought up kids with good manners. Now everyone is so unique they can't possibly learn manners.

Fine, but when they are expected to know these things don't be surprised if they lose opportunities.[/quote]

Somehow I don’t think it’s the kids quietly reading while eating dinner who are the brats. [/quote]
