From that linked article:

Pediatric experts emphasize that screen time itself isn’t the enemy. As Dr. Katherine Williamson from Rady Children’s Mission Hospital notes, “I recommend for parents to think and talk about screen time like dessert. Like a food treat, screen time is not inherently bad.” The key is ensuring screens don’t replace the daily activities that support healthy development.

It's like anything with children: moderation. This comic isn't an L. It's overly judicious readers thinking ALL screen time is bad. It isn't. Some is excellent at showing empathy and sharing and critical life lessons (Buddi on Netflix is an example).

Yep, and not just when you're little.

Which is absolutely not true
