Samsung DV210AEW/XAA - Is there a safe way to make High heat run closer to Medium?

I have a Samsung DV210AEW/XAA electric dryer that works fine, but my kids always runs it on High heat and it's shrinking some of my clothes.

I'm not looking to bypass any safety devices or modify the heating element. I'm wondering if there's a safe and reversible way to reduce the maximum drying temperature so that High runs closer to Medium while keeping all factory safety protections intact.

Does this model control temperature primarily through the thermistor and control board, or is there a thermostat that could be swapped for a lower-temperature version?

I'm comfortable replacing parts and working on appliances. Just looking for the safest way to permanently reduce the maximum heat output.

Has anyone done this on a Samsung dryer, specifically a DV210AEW/XAA?

Thanks.
