 You can watch videos of kids going through screen time withdrawals because parents aren’t spending enough time with there kids. My sons 5 months old and we’re keeping him away from all screens but he still gravitates to the phones, computers tvs at restaurants.  Coca melon is like crack for kids my son watched it for 10 minutes he didn’t move his head once he sat there lifeless and just stared at the tv and we both agreed to limit all screen time 
 Yep, the screens in the outside world are harder to avoid. But try singing along with the kid next time they see Coco Melon videos in the wild. If they do like singing with you they will at least stop being zombies and join your duet.
