We also have porous guidelines for our kids. The ones that worked the best for us are:
* Only creative / educational games (including minecraft), and those for less than 2 hours per day. They don't get games that are heavily optimized for addiction.
* No screens in their bedrooms ever. As my oldest got more of a social life, we noticed the drama of friends kept following her around and she never naturally escaped from it. Once we stopped letting her have her phone in her room her ability to deal with drama bombs improved drastically.
* No video apps at all for the younger kids.
Screentime makes it reasonably easy to enforce this stuff on iPads, and the original Screen Time (https://screentimelabs.com/ https://screentimelabs.com/) is even better on Android.
