The options aren’t iPad or uncontrollable noise. I think you’re missing the third option - parenting the kids. Disciplining children (even just verbally) seems to be something nobody wants to do anymore. If I was told to be quiet as a kid I did it because I knew I’d get in trouble otherwise.
- j7ake 3y agoThis third option is not fool proof. No amount of being told to be quiet to a 1-2 year old will do the Jo .
- brvsft 3y agoSometimes parenting the kid means precisely not giving a response to their annoying and noisy behavior.
- makeitdouble 3y agoSome kids will behave with just a verbal cue. For the better or worse, most won't. That's one of the reason some restaurants have a play area, to deal with that tension. > Disciplining children (even just verbally) seems to be something nobody wants to do anymore "Parents these days" ?
- joe_fishfish 3y agoYou don’t have children.
- switch007 3y ago> The options aren’t iPad or uncontrollable noise Absolutely. Visit France; see many well-behaved and well-dressed children eating with their parents at cafes and restaurants. It's almost like they respect that this is actually their parents' treat time - that they've been taught that they are not the centre of the universe.
