most happy and healthy kids have a unique desire to learn and trying to suppress that is unhealthy

things like screen time, finish your plate, etc

screen time is just a limit on time to learn if the kid is using it for the right purposes which you should teach them to

“finish your plate” I was never told that as a kid and I devour anything that is given to me

    not wasting food is a good thing to learn and tons of screen time can never be for the right purposes. Its good to learn how to use computers right and have fun with them but moderation like in anything is always important.
