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!  See:

Does this mean a new category of child negligence will be
created, that is, "electronic child neglect"?
