most happy and healthy kids have a unique desire to learn and trying to suppress that is unhealthy

things like screen time, finish your plate, etc

screen time is just a limit on time to learn if the kid is using it for the right purposes which you should teach them to

“finish your plate” I was never told that as a kid and I devour anything that is given to me

    if the kid is using it for the right purposes

    Most aren’t. You can tell who the iPad kids are real quick.

    Too much screen time is bad regardless of how productively you’re using it. And kids have much less control over their impulses to know when they’ve had enough.
