Let me share the unusual approach my father applied.

When I turned 8, the deal was to read the chapter of a book (real book, like Jules Verne, Arthur Clarke, etc..) and write it's synopsis. Dad would than read it and correct the grammatical mistakes. If all was well and done, I was allowed 2h of screen time.

Never seen another dad with such an odd methodology

If I ever have kids, this sounds like a good idea. If my parents had limited screen time, this is how I would have wanted it to be limited.
