Kids dad here.

I try to make a distinction between consumption and creation activities. Consumption activities (social media, youtube, playing games, etc) are time limited. But we're much more relaxed for creation activities (coding, making music/art, etc).

This approach helps keep them safe from some of the negatives of the web, while letting them learn something valuable.

This was our approach too, it worked pretty well. When Covid and the lockdowns hit it all went out the window for us. It was simply to hard to supervise the kids and work as well.

I'm glad that you have made it work for you.
