[quote=Anonymous]I'm a nanny of school-age kids, and my rule of thumb is that I only use my phone in the same room as the kids if I'm communicating with my MBor my husband, or if the kids and I are using it to find a song/google a question they had etc. And I usually mention to the kids that that's what I'm doing, so they know they're not being ignored so I can play Candy Crush or whatever. Given all the running around the house I do during the course of a day, I never have a problem responding to text messages or emails while I'm getting the kids a snack, switching the laundry, or otherwise not directly interacting with my charges. I sometimes get frustrated when I meet up with a friend and instead of being present and catching up they're scrolling their twitter feed, and I try not to do that to people in general, not just kids.[/quote]
