We have a seven year old. We haven't avoided devices altogether, but I do think our limits on devices have helped. We watch a little TV (on an actual TV) in the afternoon on weekends. She has a tablet, but only for extraordinary circumstances (long car rides basically although we also used it for an ER trip recently), and so the device usage is never accessible except when we facilitate it. We've also kept the same bath and nightly story times (7:00) since she was little, but don't force her to turn her lights off until 8:45 or 9:00. She ends up with an hour to an hour and half of time in her room by herself. Without a screen to watch, she's got two options: play with a handful of toys that are kept in her room or read a book. She doesn't always choose to read, but she reads a lot.  [/quote]
