most happy and healthy kids have a unique desire to learn and trying to suppress that is unhealthy

things like screen time, finish your plate, etc

screen time is just a limit on time to learn if the kid is using it for the right purposes which you should teach them to

“finish your plate” I was never told that as a kid and I devour anything that is given to me

    Yes, over time one or more specializations will naturally emerge. But even then time should still be spent on other kinds of experiences and knowledge. A person who only knows one thing is both helpless in life, and a rather booring person. Always at least experiment with new things so if you need them in the future you aren’t completely clueless.

            Are you currently plugged into the matrix? Or are you living bag of water taking in oxygen and emitting CO2 like the rest of us? Are you seriously trying to downplay the value of IRL experience in favor of a terminally online life? If so you’re proving why the adults in you’re own question are right.

        The fact you don’t see the potential there on your own makes it clear that you have plenty of room to grow in your own wisdom

            Yes, my answer is the same. You are conflating learning with pure comprehension of factual information. Learning and knowledge and wisdom involve much more than that.
