help he's addicted to his screen

my boy is addicted to his phone, screen, xbox etc and can't seem to pull him away. I've set boundaries, told him what times he is allowed on his screens to ensure his homework is done. Any suggestions on how to curb this habit? What do you do to control your children's screen time?
Any help is much appreciated.

Hello,
I have a few tips that helped me;
Set times for xbox.. after tea time for example 6.30Pm- 8pm.
Weekend, give as much time as they please if you have no plans and only if they have done homework/chores. And ofcourse been well behaved
Set data limits on mobile phones, I know you can do a set data amount per month so make them used data responsibly.
Hobbies; you are going to need to fill the gaps where you are removing the electronics.. hobbies could be football, gym, horseriding, dancing/theatre ... they will discover new skills they never knew they had ;)
Hope this helps
Remove the cables from xbox :)
