My kids never had tablets or individual access to screens and yet we have tv and movies and now video games as the children age. The current rule is video games require 1 minute of exercise for one minute of usage. This is a self regulating time limit that has worked well.

Oh, I like this a lot. My kids are quite physically active, but they do love to binge video games, too. I like the idea of letting them "buy" more leisure time at their own discretion through self-disciplined work.
