I give them as much screen time as they like as long as they can discipline themselves. Daddy gets to look at the phone all night? Well, yeah, daddy also gets up and showers earlier than everyone else. If the kids are able to finish their homework, clean up, shower, eat, wash dishes, go to bed, they get unlimited screen time. Also they have to behave. My two year old son is surprisingly the neatest of the bunch... until he has access to YouTube, then nothing makes him satisfied. So screen time changes. We've settled on no screen time after 7 PM, unlimited on weekends. Sometimes my eldest slips on homework, so no screen time on weekdays, and before 7 PM on weekends. No YouTube for the toddler, except every few days, and it's over when he misbehaves. One goal here is to build immunity to all the crap on the internet too. I had a friend in college who never touched games until he was in college. He'd disappear for long periods of times on gaming binges and neglect everything else. So you want to slowly dose them to clickbait and freemium games and such.
