Lynnie, I just wanted to comment on what you said about the devices keeping the children quiet in restaurants. I think a lot of people must feel this way. When my children were younger, I saw going out to eat with them as an exercise in how one should behave when they are out to eat. It was a perfect opportunity for them to practice using their manners. I didn't have to contend with devices then, but if I had, I would not have allowed them at the table. It seems a lot of parents either are not aware that it is in poor taste to be on the phone during dinner, or they just don't care.
