You can spot the parents here.
They are expressing themselves, having fun, and off the iPad. They even put it where I don’t have to see it too often. I’ll call it a win.

I think it’s a bit of a generational thing. The internet has given us access to a lot more reliable information. Far more parents have learnt the difference between what’s effective and what feels good. Yelling feels good, it doesn’t actually work very well. Rolling with it, followed by a calm discussion gets far better results. Achieving this mentality is another matter, but using it as a goal helps moderate your reaction.

Yep, this is how Michelangelo started, painting his bedroom walls. One day, it’s the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Well, that’s been done, but maybe the food court ceiling at the mall.
