Prohibition is the laziest "solution" I can think of. It doesn't work, and we can do better anyway.

If you want to change a behavior, replace it! After all, given time awake, a human will always have to do something. Give your kid something healthy and productive to do; or at the very least, something neutral. Get them excited about it.
