kids. After all, it's been decades since moms locked kids outside
with a bottle of water and the instructions "don't come back until
dinner." Nor did kids have cells. One grandmother says she took the
grandkids to the seashore only to find they wouldn't leave the motel room
because of their electronic
priorities.
But the demise of the family dinner is also a factor says the Star-Tribune. Structured, please-pass-the peas family meals -- anybody remember? -- gave a sense of safety and security to children at the same time they modeled normal eating. When someone's dinner date is the TV, they often scarf and scarf the wrong food because they lose track \ or no one is watching.
