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

    Emphases mine. So many parents just plop their kid down in front of a TV or tablet and use it like a babysitter. They don’t teach kids media literacy and just let “the algorithm” keep them entertained so they can have some peace and quiet. And that’s assuming the parents have the requisite media literacy to pass on - many don’t.
