"hey, an adult is speaking to you, pay attention and answer them."

This is a very one sided attitude and conversation, why would any one want to talk to some one with this attitude?

As an adult I can call out this poor attitude, but a child cant, thats why they are hiding in their phone.

I'd only refine it to "your caretaker(s) are talking to you, pay attention and answer."

A child also can't understand when their impulse to follow impulse is harmful. Someone should be interrupting with what you call a poor attitude.
