This document discusses restaurants that ban children. It provides three reasons some restaurants institute these bans: 1) To avoid disruption to other diners' experiences from noise, 2) Research showing children's vocabulary increases more when using educational apps on tablets compared to TV, and 3) Tablets and apps keep children occupied and engaged instead of disruptive noises. It also notes that an iPad can help keep families off "black lists" by keeping children occupied without disturbing other diners.
