hollyludeman :

But like coloring books exist

Meg ✨ :

I literally played with the salt and pepper shakers. Kids need to learn to be bored.

tentacle_lady :

Pok pok is not a nice word in my native language and certainly not something I want kids to play. But what does it mean here?

Kim :

See but if your kids can’t behave properly without an iPad then thats bad parenting!!!

Mari :

okay but i do understand, and that's why im never having kids

thinktwice :

I dunno, there were no screens when I was a kid and we can all regulate and read 🤷‍♀️

AshleyBruner3 :

As a teacher, please find other ways besides an iPad to keep them occupied. Or make them find their own thing to do

It’s 🍅season :

Weird how kids existed before iPads and phones

Jimbo Jim :

I have kids I just know how to parent without iPads so

Kimbo_yo :

What’s happening in that 10 mins to deregulate you so badly?? I don’t get it

Jessica :

I do have a kid. I still don’t understand it.

Julia Galvan :

I just talk to my kiddos and let them talk to me but ok ... 👀

Pauli :

My kids grew up without iPads at dinner. You don’t need it. I’d bring a few books or they would use the crayons and kids menu to play with. We’d do the game on it together. Or I’d pull out cards to play together. There are others ways to entertain kids then to shove an iPad under their noses. Or please at least not use the volume or use head phones so we don’t have to hear it.

Jordan Petree :

disagree

Tatatalicious :

That has nothing to do with having kids, that has to do with empathy and care for others

cris :

Not a parent but I do understand that and I’m not going to judge it. Overwhelm happens, especially in public spaces. Really tired of being told what I don’t know just because I can’t get pregnant though.

TB :

My kids definitely had iPad time, so no judgement about that. But just a thought: they are not really learning to regulate their nervous systems playing on tablets. It’s a good distraction sometimes for sure, but teaching them to exist peacefully without a screen for soothing/distraction is also a big part of good parenting. Just my opinion. 😊

Tea :

Whats the alternative? you said youd rather hand them the ipad, but rather than what?

Mersadis Barella :

Napkin origami and little games my parents and grandparents taught us to play with straw wrappers is how we cope for 10 minutes.

iamme491 :

I don’t have kids and I don’t understand. We do things together.

Ceece :

drinkingjetfuel ⭕ :

as a former child i never needed that, theres this cool thing called talking to your children, or bringing a small notebook to draw in so they can be creative

a_sh6666 :

Tolerance is an important life skill for children and parents. You’re handicapping your child and yourself when you can’t tolerate sitting at a table together.

⛈️ Melissa ⛈️ :

All the adults commenting who spend dinnertime glued to their phones 😂 I don’t give a 💩 if people judge me based on seeing 10 minutes of my day. Give the kid the iPad. They’ll be ok and so will the Karens.

ZeeGee :

Kids need to learn to be bored. If you can’t handle it walk around with them until the food comes
