"Goal driven behavior is good for us in real life. We also find out it's okay on screen-time. If you are doing spreadsheets or working on a report, doing things with a beginning, middle and an end. Unfortunately, social media is not like that Now our kids are being inundated by social peer influences 24 hours a day."

| Parent Footprint Podcast: Dr. Debbie Steinberg Kuntz and Dr. John Huber |
Bright and Quirky with Debbie Steinberg Kuntz - Episode #80
Dr. Dan welcomes colleague and friend Debbie Steinberg Kuntz to this episode of the Parent Footprint Podcast to discuss our bright and quirky kids. Debbie is a licensed marriage and family therapist and the founder of the
Bright & Quirky Child Online Summit, attracting over 15,000 people from 95 countries featuring world-class psychologists, educators, and child development experts who share tools and insights to help bright & quirky kids thrive.
Early in her parenting journey, Debbie learned that her own sons were '2e' or 'twice exceptional.' These types of kids are very bright and struggle with learning, executive function, social, emotional and/or behavioral challenges. Some have diagnoses such as ADHD, autism/Aspergers, anxiety, depression and learning disabilities like dyslexia.
Today's show covers many topics and features information about the 2020
Bright and Quirky Summit as well as the Idea Lab learning community, online resources and parenting tools.

Social Media, Depression, and Teens with Dr. John Huber - Episode #81
 In this episode, Dr. Dan and Dr. John Huber tackle a tough and essential teen parenting topic: the link between social media and depression.
Dr. Huber has been a mental health professional for over twenty years, has appeared on radio and TV, and is host of "Mainstream Mental Health Radio" which is heard nationwide.
The topic is inspired by a recent study finding that social media use plus screen time can lead to an increase in depression and anxiety among teens and adolescents. In the study, researchers measured how much time students spent in front of social media, television and computers. The data revealed the more time kids spent engrossed in digital screens, their symptoms of anxiety and depression became more severe.
Dr. Dan talks to Dr. Huber about the study, including questions such as what parents can look out for, what anxiety looks like versus depression, and common red flags in teen behavior.
