We avoid using devices around ours, don't let her watch videos during meal time, esp. the low quality ones, eg toy unboxings, hypnotic nursery rhymes, etc. We will give her other activities when we need to distract her, be it coloring, stickers, kinetic sand or something else. We even went on 7-8 hour long trips in car without a screen, just some papers and stickers. On the other hand we've witnessed the effects of "screenism" with our friends kids. Sometimes they will throw a tantrum or won't eat until they get their dose of screen entertainment. The only exception from an early age for us was video calls with grandparents, so our kid associates phones with video calls but not watching cartoons. We also prefer to let her watch full length animated films on TV, eg disney (frozen, tangled, etc). We usually won't let her watch short term brain numbing yt content, except for a music video, funny cat compilation sometimes (more as a shared activity), but this only became a thing at 2yr old or thereabout.
