Would it ever be appropriate to take a portable DVD player into a restaurant to entertain the kids?
No, it’s not appropriate…If you plan on sitting down at a table to eat whether it be at home or a restaurant spend that time talking with your kids even if they are at a young age you can satisfy their need for entertainment through conversation… By allowing them to watch a dvd during a meal even at a restaurant is teaching them that passive entertainment allows growth of the mind thus cutting out the other true meaning of sitting down to a meal, Family interaction…
