I took my DS (2.3 yrs) to the health centre today for an ear appt. He sat next to me for a bit and then started to fidget. I was trying to engage him in looking at things but those waiting areas are so boring. After a few very quiet "round and round the garden" type songs, he tried to move off the chair.
I got out my phone and tried to distract him with a cbeebies app that my older dc's had in there.
As soon as i passed him it, a woman sat on the opposite side of the room said very loudly that it was awful how people rely on "those things" and if we didnt have them, i would have to actually talk to him.
I didnt just let him get on with it. He doesnt really understand it so i was pointing to things and getting him to point things out and say them.
I was really embarrassed as the room was full but i was just trying to occupy him. Was the lady U or should i have just let him run around the room.
