Waiting in a waiting room and saw a mom, dad, and three children. one was a fresh newborn, and the middle child a toddler, eldest about ten sat down and colored.
This three year old had the phone right in her face with baby shark playing, 45 mins of it. pacifier hanging out her mouth, and sucked into the screen. She cry screamed when mom took the phne from her to use it for a minute.
Littles dont need screens like this, its damaging to their growth,. This was a childrens mental health waiting room, tons of space and things put out for kids specifically.
I just wanted to read my book while I waited for my son. Instead all I could think about was how lazy that parenting is. Why have kids if youre just gonna pop a pacifier in its mouth and shove content in their face. I wanted to congratulate mom on the newborn, fresh babies are wild to see, but she and her husband were sucked into husbands phone too. She called to him at one point too, point blank called to him and said, "hey baby daddy", which was so wierd.
