Directions: Read the short situation and answer the questions below. There is a mother and her preschool age boy sitting next to me. He has made a-sort-rocket out of his juice box. He says excitedly, "Look what I did with my juice box" not one, two or three...but six times (each louder than the first). The mother is texting. She looks up at him on his sixth attempt of connecting with her and she says, "Um, yes, we will leave in 5 minutes." He crushes his rocket. In psychological terms this lack of interaction is referred to as an empathic failure and will possibly have consequences. Children remain developmentally concrete for many years and cannot comprehend who their parent is communicating with or why. They just experience the disconnection and the fact that something they don't understand is coming in between their relationship with their parent. 1. How could this seemingly attentive and undoubtedly loving mother create better technological boundaries to preserve her relationship with her child?
