You could fill an entire bookshelf with guides on babies and toddlers, or the best strategies for dealing with teenagers. But for Dr. Kenneth Ginsburg, one of the most critical stages for child development is the pre-adolescent phase, when kids really begin to push their parents away and first ask the biggest questions of their lives: Who am I? Am I normal? Where do I fit in? On this episode of Paternal, Dr. Ginsburg returns to the show for the first in a series of special episodes devoted to the issues affecting our kids. He dives deep into the idea of brain puberty and what's happening in the minds of kids in this pre-adolescent phase, why they're trying harder than ever to break free from their parents, how screen habits figure into their development, and why you should leave your own painful memories of middle school out of the conversation with your kids. Dr. Kenneth Ginsburg is a pediatrician specializing in Adolescent Medicine at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and a Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. He is also the author of Lighthouse Parenting: Raising Your Child With Loving Guidance for a Lifelong Bond.

In this timely discussion, Dr. Jennifer Reid listens in as Dr. Megan Moreno, Co-Medical Director for the AAP's Center of Excellence on Social Media and Youth Mental Health, challenges the outdated "addiction" narrative and reveals a transformative framework that empowers both parents and adolescents. Drawing from 15+ years of research at the intersection of technology and teen health, Dr. Moreno offers a refreshingly nuanced roadmap for families navigating the complex digital landscape—where the goal isn't to simply limit screen time, but to foster healthy, balanced relationships with technology in a world where screens are unavoidable.Key Points* Moving Beyond the "Addiction" Framework* Youth have grown weary of the addiction framework for social media use* The term "addiction" makes teens feel powerless* Focus instead on empowering conversations where teens feel they have control* Understanding Problematic Use* Three key aspects of problematic technology use:* Content: Repeatedly seeking harmful or inaccurate content* Crowding Out: When technology displaces important activities (sleep, relationships, schoolwork)* Relationship with Technology: Feeling anxious or unable to disconnect* The "Digital Native" Challenge* Today's adolescents are "digital natives" interacting with screens from a young age* Parents need to model healthy online-offline balance* Self-imposed limits can be effective role modeling* Identity Development Online* Teens use social media as part of identity development* They often "try out" new identities, hobbies, or friendships online* Multiple platforms allow teens to curate different aspects of their identity* Vulnerability Factors* Some teens are more vulnerable to negative effects of social media* Pre-existing mental health conditions can make online experiences more challenging* Strong offline support systems help mitigate negative online experiences* The Five C's Framework for Healthy Media Use* Child: Understanding each child's unique needs and characteristics* Content: Focusing on the quality and type of media being consumed* Calm: Building diverse tools for emotional regulation beyond screens* Crowding Out: Ensuring media doesn't displace essential activities like sleep* Communication: Maintaining open dialogue about technology use* Parental Guidance Approach* Parents can be curious learners alongside their teens* Focus on transferable skills: treating others well, maintaining safety, setting boundaries* Ask questions from a place of curiosity rather than judgmentResources Mentioned* American Academy of Pediatrics Family Media Plan tool (or Google "AAP Family Media Plan")* Common Sense Media for app and game reviews* The five C's framework: Child, Content, Calm, Crowding Out, Communication* American Academy of Pediatrics Center of Excellence on Social Media and Youth Mental HealthGuest: Dr. Megan Moreno - Professor of Pediatrics and Affiliate Professor of Educational Psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison; Academic Chief for the Division of General Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine; Principal Investigator of the Social Media and Adolescent Health Research Team.

Authoritarian parents. Permissive parents. Disengaged parents. Lighthouse parents. How would you describe the parents you had as a kid and, more importantly, what type are you now that you're a parent? The answer could speak volumes about how you interact with your kids when it comes to the rules of the house, how to build resilience, and how much you value expressing emotions. And it will likely determine just how strong the bond is between you and your kids for the rest of their lives. On this episode of Paternal, Dr. Kenneth Ginsburg -  a pediatrician specializing in Adolescent Medicine at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and a Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine - breaks down the different styles of parenting and which one consistently yields the best results for children. He also discusses a pair of challenges often echoed by fathers on Paternal - how to honor your kids' emotions instead of shutting them down, and why it's crucial to show yourself some grace in front of your kids.  Dr. Ginsburg is the author of three books on parenting including Lighthouse Parenting, available wherever you buy books beginning March 18.

Today, I want to talk about a research finding that might make your kids angry, but it might also help your kids perform better in school. A study published in the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine found that a student's cognitive performance may be improved if they walk to school, rather than be driven to school in a car or on the bus. It seems that God has wired our bodies in such a way that teenagers who engage in physical activity early in the morning wind up stimulating their brains in ways that contribute to increased cognitive performance during the school day. And because adolescent females are typically less active than their male peers, that early morning walk is especially helpful to our girls. While researchers do say that there are actually a multiplicity of factors that could be at work here, one thing is sure: this research reminds us that God made us as integrated beings. To be balanced, our kids need to get enough exercise. Make sure your kids are active and not dormant.

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. [@chutkaMD] Guest: David B. Soma, M.D. Participation in sports in children and adolescents is extremely common and its popularity is increasing. Although sports play an important role in promoting health and developing interpersonal relationships, its estimated that injuries related to playing sports is quite common, especially musculoskeletal injuries. The literature describes prevalence rates ranging from 34 to 65%. This leads to lost school days and significant health care costs. Which sports carry the greatest risk of injury? Are there any differences in injuries in girls vs. boys? Can sports injuries be prevented and are the benefits of participation in sports worth the risk of serious injury? We'll discuss these issues and more as part of our “Back to School” podcast series. The topic for this podcast is “Pediatric and Adolescent Sports Injuries” and my guest is David B. Soma, M.D., from the Department of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine at the Mayo Clinic.

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. [@chutkaMD] Guest: Angela C. Mattke, M.D. Providing good nutrition and developing healthy eating habits is extremely important for our children. It sets a pattern and can impact their health throughout their adult life. However, this goal has many challenges. Parents must battle effective media marketing for unhealthy foods, deal with ever available and convenient fast-food options and struggle with time constraints in their busy families. How healthy are the diets of our children? How can parents manage their own busy schedules and still prepare healthy meals and what's our role as health care clinicians in promoting healthy nutrition in our children. This podcast in our “Back to School” series will focus on these questions as we discuss “Pediatric and Adolescent Diet and Nutrition”. My guest is Angela C. Mattke, M.D., a pediatrician from the Division of Community Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine at the Mayo Clinic.

Dr. Hieshetter is dedicated to inspiring and informing her audience about the body's intrinsic potential for healing and self-regulation. Episode Summary: In this compelling episode of Functional Health Radio, Dr. Kristin Hieshetter delves into the worrying trends regarding American life expectancy and the rising rates of chronic diseases among children. She highlights the stark drop in life expectancy over the past few years and explores the myriad of factors contributing to this phenomenon, including lifestyle choices and the medical system's shortcomings. Utilizing data from reputable sources such as the CDC and the Journal of Scientific Reports, Dr. Hieshetter builds an illuminating narrative around the importance of functional health and the untapped potential of the human body. Dr. Hieshetter turns a critical eye towards modern children's screen time and its detrimental impact on cognitive and emotional development. Through studies from Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine and the Journal of American Medical Association, she showcases the significant decrease in IQ and attention span linked to excessive screen usage. Highlighting research that ties early screen time to issues like aggressive behavior, obesity, and psychiatric disorders, Dr. Hieshetter makes a compelling case for reducing children's digital exposure. She passionately advocates for turning off screens, encouraging outdoor play, and fostering imaginative and physical activities to improve lifelong health and cognitive function. Key Takeaways: Decreasing Life Expectancy: Analysis of recent CDC reports showing a decline in life expectancy for both men and women in the United States. Impact of Screen Time on Children: Studies demonstrating significant drops in cognitive abilities, attention span, and IQ tied to excessive screen time among children. Negative Behavioral Effects: Children with high TV and digital media consumption exhibit more aggression, obesity, and sleep disorders. Differentiating Digital Activities: Constructive use of technology for educational purposes can mitigate some negative impacts compared to passive consumption like video games and social media. Encouragement for Physical Activity: Emphasizing the role of physical movement in brain development and overall health, advocating for more outdoor play and dynamic activities for kids. Notable Quotes: "The life expectancy in the United States is falling, and children are being diagnosed with chronic diseases at unprecedented rates." "Zero to three-year-olds watched an average of 2.2 hours of television a day, dramatically lowering their reading recognition and comprehension scores." "59% of children under age two in America right now watch at least 1.5 hours of TV a day." "Having a TV in a kid's room is associated with reduced test scores, lowered cognition, and lower IQ."

As you'll hear in this episode, Sam is passionate about providing patient-centered care and strongly believes in developing trust and mutual respect over time with her patients.

Brought to you by: Mayo Clinic Talks Podcast Flu and cold season is an annual concern for people around the world. Specifically in the United States, there are massive disparities in both care and outcomes for communities of color related to both diagnosis and treatment of flu and cold. On this episode of the RISE for Equity podcast, Nusheen Ameenuddin, M.D., M.P.H., joins host Nicole Nfonoyim-Hara to discuss COVID's impact on cold and flu, protecting our communities, and how we can improve education and access to care for marginalized communities.  “The truth of the matter is genetically, we're all very similar. It's not an issue of race, it's an issue of racism. When we actually step back, people can be like, ‘Oh, that situation was a one-off.' And when we actually look at the data, it's not a one-off. The fact is, we're not asking the right questions, and we need to look deeper to ensure that we are providing the best possible care, the most objective care, the most patient-centered care, particularly when we see that we're falling short. And, and the numbers don't lie.” Guest: Nusheen Ameenuddin, M.D., M.P.H., is currently an Assistant Professor and Consultant (tenured staff physician) in the Division of Community Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine, Department of Pediatrics, at the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN.
