[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get it, OP. I've encountered this sort of thing, and it's irritating at best. Less the screens and more the adult attitude. I think it's always one of two ways of thinking (and/or), both of which I take issue with. 1) A child who is low-maintenance, or behavior that is easy for an adult to manage, is deemed "good." (Worse, the opposite is implied "bad"-- if not outright stated.) This is sometimes just lazy or simple-minded shorthand, and isn't intended to be a moral judgment, but it's annoying to hear people say or ask-- for example if Larla is a "good baby." Meaning she sleeps a lot and doesn't cry. It's problematic, and though it's "meant well," it grates on me. [/quote] +1 I agree that this is more about the attitude than the screens themselves. I see #1 sometimes, with members of the current grandparent generation. Good is shorthand for "easy." [/quote]
