Some examples of things to keep a look out for would include: 1) making sure the headphones stay in the headphone jack for the portable DVD player (i know they don't feel nice on your ears junior, but it is more considerate for all of the road warriors up here in the front), 2) keep the volume on the PSP, DSII, DSI, Game Boy deluxe or whatever other hand held mind manager the kids are playing OFF (or use the headphones - see #1) , 3) and of course watch the kicking feet. Everyone should appreciate that 1-10 kicks fall in the kid curiosity/accident realm, but >10 kicks fall in the lack of supervision department.
The implication is that making noise and kicking seats are acceptable when you're in the back of the plane with the Kettles. But they're not acceptable behavior
anywhere. The people in the cheap seats deserve as much consideration as the road warriors.
