Question

Berakhot 28b
“And keep your children away from higgayon” — Rashi explains: Do not accustom them to studying Scripture too much, because it is captivating.
Doesn’t this contradict what is written in Yoreh De’ah 246:4:
“A person is obligated to divide his learning into thirds: one-third in the Written Torah, meaning the twenty-four books, one-third in the Mishnah, etc.”

Answer

The question is: what counts as too much? The question is also at what stage of life? Maybe not your children, but adults yes? Rashi himself dealt quite a bit with Scripture.
