An interesting article in the NY Times on the patterns of interaction between parents and children when parents are spending more and more time attending to their communication devices (i.e., cell phones, computers, etc.) then to their children. The article starts with an example of a parent and a child at an elevator where the mother is paying attention to her Blackberry while the child tries to get her to attend to him. After failing to get her attention, the child bites her on the leg.
Good stuff!
