most happy and healthy kids have a unique desire to learn and trying to suppress that is unhealthy

things like screen time, finish your plate, etc

screen time is just a limit on time to learn if the kid is using it for the right purposes which you should teach them to

"finish your plate" I was never told that as a kid and I devour anything that is given to me

Kids may have knowledge but wisdom how to use it often comes when personal responsibility kicks in.

Like I do know how to do shenanigans. I've had that knowledge since I was kid. Now I won't do it as I'm acoountable for my actions and I can refer to what other people feel about them. So it's wise not to.
