Technology during mealtime is upsetting for family time together

NEW research shows technology is a barrier to Irish family connection at mealtimes.

Seventy-two per cent of parents say family arguments at the table stem from technology while two in three parents say it ‘has a negative impact on dinner time at home with the family’.

Parents Plus charity CEO and adjunct senior lecturer at UCD’s School of Psychology John Sharry says the Dolmio-conducted research matches his own clinical experience.
