How To Deal: iPads

Technology is something that we all can't seem to get enough of nowadays. We see tons of people - if not all - engrossed with what's displayed on their mobile phones, tablets, laptops, what-have-yous everywhere we go. Not that it's a bad thing - at least for me - but sometimes it looks...wrong, especially if you see kids stare at the games they're playing on their iPads instead of running around with other kids.

My daughter is not much of a people-person, which is totally fine for me since I, myself, isn't one. Given that, she always ALWAYS have her (my) iPad with her. She can't even eat without it. I don't really have a problem with it; it's just that there are times when I feel kind of 'shy' having people see her like that when we're in restaurants so my question is this:

How do you deal with your children and their gadgets, in general?

Like, do you reprimand them for spending 70% of the time with their tablets or do you just let them do their own thing? I know a lot of parents have this problem and most, probably, have the same dilemma I have. We all need solutions for this, people!
