If I had another life I would start a place called SATURDAY 1960. A place to take children so they could have the unstructured SATURDAY life that leads to play, imagination, boredom and lots of time outside. No phones, no screens, just inside and outside play... board games, kickball, bikes, jump rope, ball games, all the oldies.

Nothing is more tragic than seeing kids in structured soccer or baseball, basketball, lacrosse, track etc.

These kids do not play, they have limited brain development.

Hyperbole, but kids addicted to smartphones and gaming consoles and who no longer even come outside much even in summer, and have no or maybe just one sibling, is a basic problem.
