My children ,since young I have given them a free pass to play their gadget from Friday evening and hand it back on Sunday evening provided all home work done. Later I would ask them what are they watching or learning. They love to watch Popular youtubers and also play Minecraft and some other games. Because my wife and I already set the expectation, we have resolve complains and whining. It was their motivation towards the weekend and during week days, I would encourage them to develop their creative side. My son and daughter love drawing and so I would check in once a while their progress. My younger son love making vedio and my eldest son love music. Its all about setting expectation.
