[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the worst generation of parents. I cannot believe the number of young children I see staring at a screen in grocery stores, parks, restaurants and more. They are literally damaging their kids’ brains but they’re too lazy to do the job. [/quote]

They aren’t damaging their brains but the kids are missing out on important stages of development.  These are perfect places to watch people interacting, talking to people, looking around at the world.

I was in line at Starbucks and there was a three year old in front of me.  I was taking apart this three part plastic cup, taking the straw out, taking the middle part out, reversing the straw, getting it ready to use. This three year old never took his eyes off of what I was doing. It was a couple of minutes and I never saw such intense observation on a mundane happening. That was a kid who will have no adhd and he probably doesn’t use iPads or anything.  When I was done he went back to seeing what his mother was doing. [/quote]

That’s a kewl story [/quote]
