They say that cellphones are raising kids nowadays but are they also babysitting parents? Jeremy Bradley talks about the growing concern about parents ignoring their kids so that they can pay attention to their mobile device. JB shares observations from restaurants and shopping malls where kids are desperately trying to get a parent's attention, only to have mom or dad zeroed in on their mobile device -- and nothing else. (It'll be interesting when the tables are turned and the kid is old enough to have a phone and start ignoring the parent, right?) Later, JB shares a story about watching one family where the kids were in control even though mom and dad thought they had the upper hand.
