We're trying a new thing in our house to curb the dopamine addiction.

Screens allowed every 2nd day. So far it has been working well, and our kid always finds something creative to do on the screen free days.

This is an interesting idea thanks! I realize mine (by coincidence) do something similar but it's in two day stretches.

They want to play Minecraft sometimes but other times they want to go play outside or play with their toys or watch a show.

They definitely have a harder time stopping some kinds of shows though regardless of only watching them some days so I have to remove some them.
