"1. Enforced limits are adversarial."

One of the primary jobs for parents is to set limits. Bedtime, sugar, chores, homework, etc are all forms of limits. If screentime is more adversarial than bedtime, could this be an indication of addiction?

Emphasis is on "enforcement" than limits and we've applied it to all limits. In general, we (child + parents) agree on some limits. Sometimes they are broken, we discuss and adjust or re-iterate.

It does take more time initially, but it has resulted in a more responsible child and a more respectful child - parent relationship.

Addiction: if the limits get broken frequently, it definitely is a sign of addiction and indicates a need for healthier alternatives.
