One solution is to spend time with them doing activities, playing.
I have noticed children (below 3) DO NOT prefer tablets/phones. If you give a two-year a tablet, wait until they are completed engaged and ask them "wanna go outside?" they will forget the tablet. Kids always prefer to play, but when parents do/can not spend time with them, they will happily find entertainment elsewhere.
I haven't tested this with children above 3, but I suspect it is the same up to 12.
