Technology =
None of these exactly, but... cell phones?
This could be involved, Pc?
Or this. Tvs? Cars? Radio?Electronic cigarettes? Internet?
This is involved. Toys?
Something that is done in order the child to be quiet? To let the parent sleep? To let the parent to be free?
These are possible, but not necessarily. Is it done mostly by couples with children? Or by a single parent?
Either.Is it something doing mostly in houses? Outside?
Either.Benefit for the parent = benefit in a particular situation?
In a sense. While driving? While on holiday? While being outside?
It can be done in these circumstances, or others.Benefit for non parents = music?
No, but I'm interested what you were thinking of.invisiblemimsy
Does this have anything to do with surveillance?
Debatable, but I'll say yes. Eg. security cameras, tracking or being tracked, privacy?
Something similar. Something location based?
Not relevantly. Do you do this thing also?
I have before, but not habitually. Is the cause actually a problem or not?
A very minor one. Could it become one?
Unlikely to be a serious problem.Same question for their behaviour.
As in, is the action they're doing a problem? No.Does doing this reassure the parent, non-parent? About the child, the non-parents, or others?
No to all.Is it PERCEIVED as more of a problem than it was in the past?
For non-parents, yes. Is it in fact a problem?
A minor one.Photography, Facebook?
Not directly related. Food, drink, allergies?
No. A spare pair of knickers in case your friends wee themselves?
No.
