How to Curb Excessive Screen Use & Have More Family Fun, with Dr. Michael Rich, MD
It's summertime and that means less structure to the day, and potentially more screens and screen battles. That's why we've invited Harvard professor and Director of the Digital Wellness Lab, Dr. Michael Rich, MD, to share tips and strategies from his new book, The Mediatrician's Guide. At Boston Children's Hospital, Dr. Rich regularly works with bright and quirky kids who are struggling with Problematic Interactive Media Use (PIMU). Bring your favorite way to take notes, and your questions! We're always delighted when the charming and informative Dr. Rich visits the IdeaLab!

Stop Screen Over-Use and Empower Bright Kids' Social, Emotional and Physical Development, with Guidance from Top Screen Experts
Bright and quirky kids are most at risk when it comes to screen overuse and addiction. Why? Because lags in executive function, including time managment and self-control to stop screens, can get in the way of digital wellbeing. Also, online life can become a comfort zone that lessens motivation to try new things and meet new people.
That's why we've gathered the top experts to share their solutions to managing excessive use of video games, social media, video streaming and more, so your family can enjoy more peace, connection, physical health and creative development.

Why Parents Continue to Learn with Us:
“I am so grateful, it was meant to be that I found you guys that day!”
IdeaLab member Sarah shares, “Things have changed a lot…I was really thinking about where we were and how much we’ve learned as a family from the beginning of discovering [IdeaLab] until now, it’s pretty profound….I feel empowered.”
“Trust what Bright & Quirky is saying when they tell you what they can accomplish.”
IdeaLab member Dan shares, “Can it get better? Absolutely, unequivocally. Yes, and I’m witness to some of the parents who were just pulling their hair out and in tears, some of whom I've seen in community, in the Facebook group and in conversations much like this. Night and day difference.”
"[IdeaLab] changed everything!"
IdeaLab member Emon shares, "Before we started Bright & Quirky, I had no idea where my now 17-year-old was going to land. But now he is a senior and he is doing dual enrollment. He’s about to start Junior College… he’s ready. And we didn’t see that before.”
“I see my child very happy, his eyes are bright again.”
IdeaLab member Veronica shares, “We were able to lower his anxiety meds. I see that he is actually learning at school, not just surviving school. A treasure about Bright & Quirky is being able to have a community that you can relate to, it can be a very lonely path…we share a common language and understand each other and what we are going through.”

Testimonials
What Parents Have to Say About Learning with Bright & Quirky
I have learned more from these sessions than I have from any neuropsychologist, pediatrician, educator or counselor. I am grateful for all of the professionals who shared their knowledge and passion for these children.
These sessions were so helpful and informative for both clinicians and parents. I really enjoyed the selection of speakers and even though I have been a mental health practitioner for 30 years, I learned many new concepts.
I love the warmth and positive thinking throughout all the talks. The speakers are so inspirational and insightful. It's reassuring to know you're not alone through this challenging parenting journey.
We were in a place of confusion and hopelessness when it came to helping our 2e son. B&Q gave us the right education and tools to change our home life for the better. It is so empowering to know that you can educate yourself and improve your family's situation.
So much content in one place that is difficult to find elsewhere, and a unique viewpoint. Better explanation of how to parent our unique child than we have seen despite years of parenting books, parent coaching/therapy classes. The approach makes sense to us in light of our experience with our B&Q child and what has and has not worked in the past.
