Amusing the kids



A local coffee shop this morning - two young women nattering away over a coffee, one with a toddler in a pushchair. Mum drank her coffee with her right hand, while down by the pushchair her left hand held her phone about a foot from the child’s nose.

Colourful cartoons such as Peppa Pig were playing on the phone and as a damper on pushchair behaviour it worked very well. The child was clearly mesmerised and didn’t make a sound, not while we were there. Better than a bag of sweeties I suppose.

Recently I saw a toddler being wheeled along in a push-chair with the parent's phone in a sort of clamp in front of its face. Stops it being bothered by anything in the environment, I guess.
