If I were to have kids, which I won't but this is just for the sake of discussion, I wouldn't be *as* strict as some here. Why? Because I was raised with plenty of screens around me and I turned out to be a Nazi. Can't get much better than that. Now when the kid is still a baby then... Duh. Screentime isn't much of an option because babies give no fucks. When they hit 4 or 5 though, I've got a backlog of games and stuff they could play if they care to. Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, a couple older Star Wars games, just generally fun stuff that was around before things were too far gone. Of course, and this really should go without saying, it isn't as if I'd let the kid play it 24/7. Nonono... Swimming, hunting, fishing, little RC drones because those things are cool as fuck, and whatever else smaller me gets into. Hopefully he/she likes shooty-pew things. Start off with a BB gun to learn how to shoot with both eyes, bump up to a .22, then a .223/5.56, then big chonk boolets once they're old enough to not get put on their ass by the recoil or scope themselves. I've seen it with my own eyes plenty of times and I know exactly where parents go wrong: It's when they're handing their phone off to the kid to shut them up to play angry birds or whatever the fuck. I didn't have my own phone until 7th grade, and it was a dinky little flip phone (Though I'll admit I do kinda miss it.). If you're going to give 'em games and movies to watch, make sure you know what it is first. It's that easy.
