One of the things I’ve done with my children to help them develop interests not based on immediate internet gratification is to not give them cell phones till high school.
I view cell phones as just too addictive for young children. This has given them the opportunity to cultivate all sorts of interests like books, legos, playing outside, etc. I’m not saying that cultivating these interests is impossible in the world of tech, but it’s even harder for children to resist tech than it is for adults.
