We're trying to stop the daily "5 more minutes!" argument. Would this work in your house?

I'm a new dad and I've realised most screen-time apps are built around restrictions.

We wondered if there was another way.

Instead of simply limiting YouTube or Roblox, we're testing the idea of children earning screen time through things like reading, educational apps, exercise and chores.

The more positive habits they complete, the more screen time they unlock themselves.

I'd love some honest opinions from parents:
• Would your child respond to this?
• What would stop you using it?
• Have you tried anything that actually reduced the daily arguments?

I'm genuinely looking for feedback before we finish building it.
