All of my similarly aged parents- most of whom are huge gamers and nerds- have instituted some effective policies: - Strictly limited screen time, replaced with time spent reading, playing with physical toys like LEGO and playing outside actively. Devices are physically removed from the kid's environment when screen time is over. - Kids do not get full access to the entire content library. Approved videos and games only. Most have entirely removed the YouTube app from the kid devices in favor of Disney Plus and education-focused apps. Some have kids playing more retro games rather than current games. The kids will complain and throw tantrums, but they're toddlers, they do that anyway. And eventually they come around. Especially if their friends (children and aunties/uncles) participate with them as well.
