Grown-up note (read aloud)
When siblings or friends share one device, we take turns. First one sends input, then the other taps the screen.
- One input user at a time
- Waiting is part of device sharing

Grown-up note (read aloud)
While you wait, you can watch the screen or do a quiet activity. Grabbing the device messes up fair input turns.
- No grabbing the computer
- Watch screen or play offline while waiting
