[quote=Anonymous]You just have to make it a priority. You set limits and boundaries around screen time. You put them in organized activities but hold space for free time and free play. You don't entertain them 24-7 and allow them (and allow yourself) to get bored. You don't buy them the best of everything, even if you can. You make them figure out their own games, and you read to them all the time. You are in charge of their childhood, so you structure it how you think it can be most beneficial to them, given the constraints present in your own life. Best thing we have ever done besides reading to our 3 kids is set strong boundaries with screens - none in the car, none at restaurants or while running errands, none waiting for doctors or medical appointments, etc. It makes your life harder, but it is so worth it.
