When my kids were still infants and toddlers, I would look around and see all the nannies, parents and grandparents on their phones wherever we were. I would count the parents/caregivers there, and always 80-90% were on their phones. The kids would look up to see if their adult saw what they did, and the look of disappointment on their faces was so sad!!
I swore I wouldn't do that. I may listen to a podcast sometimes, but my eyes are up. Usually my ears are engaged too.
It's also disappointing to me how much money people pay to vacation somewhere, just to "tune out" by staring at the tiny screen. Society really is becoming zombies.
I am n a doctors office right now. Yes on my phone KeK to post this but a mom is on her phone, 12 year old fat boy on phone 10 year old on iPad and 7 year old on iPad with headphones. These kids are cooked.
