I understand sometimes the screen is necessary to get through dinner, I don’t judge the parents that do it; however, I try my absolute hardest not to!

I used the sling listed every public place we went to with a few toys in it each time to mix up the variety! I had a few more tricks up my sleeve, that I’ll link below, too!
