Unencumbered consuming is a big problem.

Children seem to do better when creating instead of consuming on screens. Except they almost always like creating more in real life (painting, piano) vs the app.



My take is that playing minecraft or such is fine. Instagram is not. Playing with blocks in real life is probably better (but I appreciate you can't build moats in real life so easily).


Creating = building with blocks, interacting, using imagination, creating.

Consuming = passive watching and input only. Watching someone play video games is consuming.
