I generally appreciate your comments, but that is a tad presumptuous and typical "internet-judgmental", you can do better... Those things are around the house and you cannot be hovering over the kids (plural) every minute of every day... having a timer option to limit overall ipad time is a simple and effective solution and I wish the crack dealer (apple) would implement one. Thanks StomachMoney, I looked up that one and it led to a slew of others, I tried a simpler (cheaper) timer style locker for now, I'll see how that goes... makes them more "receptive" to playing outside and reading, if nothing else ! ;-)
PS: Wifi-off is no bueno, lots of games don't require it, and too many devices need it, like security cameras, Echo, thermostat, it's a wifi jungle out there!

Seriously, I find that my kids gravitate to their devices when they are bored. If I ask my 7 year old if he wants to ride his bike or go fishing, he's out the door before me, device long forgotten.

Totally... But there's time I gotta cook/cleanup/take care of something in the house and I wanted to make sure the ipad is not >1 hour per day total... It takes over from books and other "inside" activities too easily.
