This! My parents would let me have extra time if I was doing something other than mucking about playing games or social media nonsense.

Usually a parent would ask me what I did and if I was learning programming or something like that they would leave me to explore.

I think one of the main problems is that too many parents are just putting a screen in front of a child as a virtual babysitter because they don't want to be bothered.
