I wonder if those limited in screen time have the pressure of being off the device placed on them by demanding and guilt tripping parents who have laid the ‘self-fulfilling prophecy’ in their hands. If the kids are declaring themselves ‘addicted’ they’re anticipating their dopamine hit and their reward system has no other recourse. Mom and (Dad) have made a monster out of a tool that the child has no freedom to put down because he/she can’t wait to receive it.
