That's closer to how I'd like to handle it when my 3m old is old enough. But are you able to properly restrict your screen time as well? Seems complicated to tell a kid they can't do something their parents are doing multiple hours a day.
Yes, we don't tend to be on our phones near him. Not just to set a good example, but I've found that being glued to your phone isn't really a great thing anyway. For doing real work I sit in my home office with the door closed.
We don't do this either (I hardly look at the thing at home), but just a look at the other parents bringing in their preschoolers at school is depressing. Half of them have their phone out, and the number of parents you see pushing a pram or stroller with a phone in front of them is absurd.

We are a minority.
