My kids are a bit older now but at the age, I find it was relatively easy to redirect their attention away from screens. At that age they're quite curious and will generally jump to the next interesting thing and quickly move on for a bit. I recommend engaging and offering productive playtime to help them move onto other activities.

As they got older we implemented a one hour screen time limit per day for all screen types (including TV) but that they could earn more screen time if they read, did chores, finished their homework early, help each other in some way, etc with a hard limit of 2 hours max screen time per day with rare exceptions to exceed that.

So far we're happy with the results and the amount of time they spend doing other activities.
