## Resource

A new JAMA Pediatrics study says roughly 70% of kids ages 4 to 10 use electronic media during dinner, and more than 75% of parents do the same. TJ Walker argues that the real issue is not just kids staring at screens. It is parents modeling the same behavior while pretending to set rules. Family dinner cannot work if everyone is looking down at a phone, tablet, or TV instead of talking to each other.
