But screen time involves an extremely diverse set of activities, you aren't addicted to a single thing you are just addicted to efficiency. Not sure why that would necessarily be bad, efficiency helps you get the information you need or want faster. Another activity that is efficient is driving a car instead of walking. Do you ban cars for your kid and force it to walk for an hour to school? If not, why do you think one kind of efficiency is fine but not the other? Surely walking to school would be way more positive on your child than banning screens? I'm sure your kid would scream and complain if you forced the kid to walk everywhere, because the kid knows there is an easier way and that will limit the activities and experiences the kid can partake in. If you live in a non-car centric area just think public transit instead of cars, banning efficiency works the same.
