Dopamine Kids
A Science-Based Plan to Rewire Your Child's Brain and Take Back Your Family in the Age of Screens and Ultraprocessed Foods
About the Book
NPR science correspondent Michaeleen Doucleff draws on recent research suggesting dopamine drives motivation rather than pleasure, and applies that lens to children's use of screens and ultraprocessed foods. The book lays out a five-step, four-week plan for parents to reset household norms, replace screen time with equally engaging activities, and remove environmental triggers that pull kids toward compulsive use.
