It’s become almost cliché to pick on youth for spending too much time with their smartphones and iPads and whatnot; but these days, it’s often children chiding adults for their problematic tech habits. “You can’t get my mom off that phone,” sighs 7-year-old Luca Finzi. Ten-year-old brother Miles agrees. “We’ll be at the dog park, and she’ll just start texting someone.” Aidan and Keira Mangan, 4 and 3, respectively, sometimes pretend to have potty training accidents to pull their father away from “Madden NFL.” “Sometimes I bargain with them,” father David Mangan admits. “Just give me 10 more minutes.” The trend has gotten so bad that some youth, after watching their parents’ tech obsession interfere with their real-world relationships, have taken to limiting their own tech time. “Some of the kids are saying, ‘I don’t want this for myself,'” says Michael Rich, director of Children’s Hospital Boston’s Center on Media and Child Health.
