The phenomenon where until smartphones have been around for sufficiently long periods of time, there are multiple different conventions on how well a child should behave in order to get more screen time. Even though by now, there have been found the following deciding factors on whether someone (children or otherwise) should (be allowed to) have screen time: a) the desired duration of screen time, b) the purpose of having screen time, c) personal susceptibility towards the effect(s) of excessive screen time.
In our household, screen time conventions are strict; we have to consider behavior, purpose, and how long the kids can actually handle it without experiencing brainrot.

In this phenomenon, there are always countless other people with way more screen time than the amount of screen time you're able to have. It's because the country with world's highest screen time (Indonesia, 6.05 hours per day) is also the 4th most populous country in the world, housing 270 millions of inhabitants.
Every time I check my screen time stats, I feel the pressure of the screen time rivalry, especially knowing Indonesia has the highest average at over 6 hours a day!
