I think children need boundaries....... I would have been mortified had my children misbehaved in a hospital, I recall having to take mine to ICU after my stepdad's lung cancer surgery..... the staff were having fits about my children being left in the hallway, 5 of them aged newborn to 8 yrs old. 2 were in a pram, 3 holding the pram, the 8 yo read to the littlies. Not one of them caused a problem for the 30mins I was there, the staff were so surprised and I was thinking "what is wrong with you people?" 😮

Nowadays, some parents do not prepare themselves, children get bored after 30 minutes, they need stuff to do, read, play with. They cannot be expected to sit and do nothing surely?
