Dopamine Kids

A clear, practical guide for families who want to reclaim their habits, and their happiness, from screens and ultraprocessed food. Drawing on fresh neuroscience, Dopamine Kids reveals why our brains are overwhelmed by constant "dopamine surges", pushing both adults and children towards tech and snacks we don’t even enjoy. Michaeleen Doucleff, PhD, bestselling author of Hunt, Gather, Parent, cuts through the myths and offers a straightforward five-step method to reset family habits. You’ll learn how to set firm, workable boundaries; swap screen time for activities children actually want to do; remove everyday triggers; and build routines that boost mood, confidence and curiosity. The book concludes with a four-week plan for creating screen-free spaces that protect sleep, focus and real connection. A practical handbook for raising motivated, grounded kids and for helping families take back control in a world full of digital and dietary distractions.
