I was afraid to admit that mine do the same. I can’t get them interested in anything else. They will only read books on Shabbos or YT. :-I

Yep.
I wouldn't worry about it. Last year when we were home for months I tried to have some structure: outdoor time, learning time, crafts...
But now when we were in quarantine a few weeks ago, I knew this was short term and just needed to get through the 2 weeks as easily and unstressfully as possible.

As long as it is short term, I think many moms allow extra screentime... My kids started reading more e-books last spring (the ones who read a lot).... Hatzlocha going through this!

We sent people to dollar tree and Walmart for crafts, chalk, bubbles, books, activity books... They still fought consistently for three weeks straight.
