We can offer our kids candy (the screens) on occasion, but it shouldn’t always be an option. Watermelon (a book) itself is a sweet delight that nourishes, and is so much easier to enjoy fully when we aren’t tempted by candy. By taking the candy off the table at certain times, we relieve our kids of the burden to choose. The freedom we give our kids to enjoy the watermelon comes when their choice to have candy is taken away.
