My approach is to demystify the addictive thing as much as possible.
Kid wants to play video games? Have them create their own video game before playing other video games
Addicted to TikTok? Have them create their own videos and channel before watching other peoples channels
Addicted to the internet? Have them create their own websites before having them see other people's websites
The foundations of addiction rely on the mind creating cycles of dependence on a single activity due to a lack of finding the same dopamine rush in other known activities. So if they understand what is going on behind the scenes that actually results in the dopamine rush, they can find healthier alternatives. They will do this automatically since dopamine with understanding = freedom

How does creating your own video make them understand what is going on behind the scenes when watching a video and how that creates a dopamine rush? Absolutely, creating your own videos is much more satisfying but I don't see how that relates to better understanding when watching a Tiktok feed.
