Look around in any restaurant these days and you'll easily see half of the adults in the room engaged with their phones at some part of the evening, if not most of it.
"I'm a little bit better than that person because I can take an elevator ride without looking at my phone"
"Our relationship is better than theirs because we can get through dinner without looking at our phones"
On and on it goes... it's comforting, isn't it?
If are going to discuss how to instill values in our children regarding smartphones, we need to look at ourselves first.
