Nah, you set the ultra low cap knowing full well it will be at least 4x that come day end.

V.sympathetic to this angle. Otoh my kid has severe difficulty regulating emotion which is markedly worse after (longer) screen time. W/o ST he's drawn to activities which seem to help him regulate (sensory stuff e.g. playing in mud). Many fewer meltdowns. Happier household.

tbh a big part of the reason I think "screen time" is so critical is that most kids are otherwise placed in very low-stimulation environments, with the unreasonable expectation that they will "work on something productive," read or play with something uninteresting

This was my experience. As a preteen and teenager, I was teaching myself web crafting and actual programming (C++, PHP, a dash of JS). But I was only allowed 30 min of programming or 30 min of TV. Drove me crazy!
