The phenomenon where children are more accepting of new screen time limits imposed by parents during significant periods such as New Year, birthdays, the start of the school year, or Ramadan, compared to normal days like a busy Wednesday.
It's like the screen time resolution effect kicks in every January; the kids are totally on board with the new limits, but try it during a hectic Wednesday, and it’s a whole different story!

The Grandfather Paradox is when you go back in time and kill your grandfather but since your grandpa is dead, you cant go back in time since.. u know... you dont exist. But since you dont exist your grandpa exists which means YOU exist but then you go back in time and kill your grandpa, and it keeps going on forever.
But in minutephysics video he talks about how it´s NOT an paradox (cant have links sorry)
