I agree with this guy. This problem is getting worse. And it's not the kid's fault - they don't know any better.
I'm not sure why today's little kids have to "play" when they go out to eat. Is it because no one is sitting down to eat dinner at home any more? Are children not being taught to sit quietly and eat from an early age? Are they not being taught table manners?
I'm also seeing that children now have the run of the house, the restaurants, other people's houses and the grocery store. What ever happened to playpens? We were put in them for a little while each day and it taught us to respect boundaries. It also kept us out of harm's way while our Mom was taking a shower or cooking a meal.
Parents on this wall, please, for your children's sake, teach them boundaries and start it very early. It will pay off a hundred fold when they become teens.
