Reclaim your children's attention from the screen
An interactive workshop for anyone who wants to understand digital addictions & dopamine fasting in themselves and the people around them. Bring real situations, ask questions and practise useful ways to respond at home, work and in relevant support roles.
HOW THE MIND WORKS
Notifications, novelty and social feedback can create repeated reward-learning loops: a cue prompts checking, checking brings an unpredictable reward, and the habit strengthens. When that reward is removed, boredom, restlessness or irritability can feel intense. “Dopamine fasting” is not a reset; sustainable change means changing cues, routines and alternatives.
This is guided learning, not a lecture and not therapy.
WHAT YOU WILL DO DIFFERENTLY
This workshop makes the underlying pattern clearer, then gives you guided opportunities to discuss it and practise a more useful response.
Constant screens, irritability, lost focus: treated as a discipline problem.
Confiscation and confrontation, which typically escalates the conflict.
Without understanding the mechanism, you are contending with effects rather than causes.
Recognise the cues, moods and moments that lead to automatic checking or scrolling.
Set environmental boundaries and replacement activities rather than relying on willpower alone.
Discuss screens without shame while keeping clear, consistent limits.

Across eight interactive weekend sessions, participants bring real situations, ask questions and practise guided tools together.
Explore the pattern through everyday examples and participant questions.
Bring real situations to identify triggers, needs and the choices available.

No. It is grounded in the actual science of dopamine and addiction, with practical, tested strategies: taught by a clinical institute.
Because it is taught by a real psychiatric institute, so the science is substantive rather than guesswork.
