„Mobile device use during eating encounters has become a cultural norm that, like TV, may interrupt the positive family communication thought to make such family routines protective in child health and development. Media has become pervasive in the American child’s daily environment and experience, often replacing the interactions with adults that serve as the foundation for learning healthy behaviors and emotion regulation strategies. Because secure parent-child relationships are one of the strongest buffers against psychosocial stress, guidance is needed for how caregivers can use the rapidly evolving technologies in their homes in the healthiest ways possible.“
