Reply To: Kids or teens who leave the Shabbos table to go read…

I’m referring specifically to kids over Bar Mitzvah 15 year olds to be precise who are not “troubled” and are in regular yeshivos..

The kid is “hooked” on the book he is reading and leaves the table. We don’t have a shlepped out meal for the most part. There’s a little singing a little Torah a little shmoozing we don’t sit there for hours like some families.

Should parents of such a boy say something? What should they say?
