Well, that's exactly the point. If your kid can't find anything to do if it's not actively entertained by either you or a screen, the screen does harm while you do good but them being alone also does good as they get bored and can break out of that boredom by being creative. Screens and always present care givers are not good for creativity. Kids also need some time alone with their toys or better yet in nature.

You are holding a screen. So am I. I agree with you, but I try to be less of a hypocrite. With that being said is hard not to let my kids do, what I do. They have time with toys and time in the garden also. And screens are information, you can get something out of that reality, sometimes.
