The real reason ADHD teens can’t get off screens
Jan 26, 2026Screens aren't just distracting your ADHD teen—they're chemically hijacking their brain.
And if it feels impossible to pull them off their devices without a fire-breathing temper tantrum, there's a reason for that. The ADHD brain is uniquely sensitive to the cheap dopamine that screens deliver in endless supply.
But there is a way to disrupt this cycle—gently, collaboratively, and without constant fights.
In this week's video, I share three science-backed strategies to help your teen break free from the doom-scroll spiral and reconnect with healthier, more meaningful parts of their life.
Here's what you'll learn:
✅ Why ADHD teens get hooked faster and resist "just turn it off"
✅ The chemistry behind cheap dopamine and screen overuse
✅ How to create competing high-interest activities that actually work
✅ Why collaboration—not control—changes screen behavior
✅ How to help your teen feel ownership (so boundaries don't feel like punishment)
✅ A counterintuitive strategy that turns you into their guide instead of their adversary
Instead of taking their phone away and bracing for the explosion, you'll learn how to create alternatives your teen will actually choose.
