We have a the responsibility of restraint and the call to give children (to be honest, it's not just children) the gift of what is good for them. The capacity for attention is a skill, a muscle that must be developed. So, yes, we aught to be making media for children that is truly artistic, quiet, and minimally stimulating. However, I think the question is more about how much media should we give our children in the first place and how can we shape and participate in cultures were media is used as a supplement and not a crutch.

  yeah I agree - how much media - the idea of quantity is absolutely crucial, at least as much as quality

We're forming their attention for life. That means designing for patience and wonder, not just engagement metrics.

  The 'cannot yet resist' part is what makes this a duty, not just a preference.
