Pediatric phone use
Today, I saw a four year old (I didn’t get a look at her teeth so I can’t tell you for sure, but I’m pretty sure she was four) on a cell phone. Having a conversation. While walking next to her father. I’m always making sarcastic remarks about how young kids are starting earlier and earlier with cell phones, but confronted with the reality of it in person, it made me feel more sad than smug.
What could someone that age have to talk about that was so important it couldn’t wait to be said in person?

I’m guessing if she was at the clinic with her father, she was likely on the phone with her mother. Perhaps getting some words of encouragement before going in?
I agree that kids are using cell phones at ridiculously young ages, but I think as a father taking his little one into the dentist for what may have been one of the first times… he gets cut a little slack. :)

I agree, but they were just walking on the sidewalk on campus!
