Good on you for watching with your kid.
My wife is a pediatric OT and her mother (who is quite active with my son) is a kindergarten teacher, and their observation over the last ten/thirty years (respectively) is that the major culprit isn't screen time, it's screen time as a babysitter/mollifier.
My 3yo gets 30-45 minutes of screen time a day. But there's always an adult with him, there to talk about it, etc.
After evaluating behavioral problems in kids and their home lifes, my wife is convinced that while there are concerns about tablet video games in toddlers, etc., half the culprit is parents saying "I'll just leave Sally here to watch Super Wings while I go cook dinner."
