Social Media and Your Teen

If your teen is on social media they are having a bad experience with it. No one walks away from scrolling social media for 20 minutes and feels better about themselves. Teens often have less of a resiliency than we as adults do to bounce back. 

How should we address this as

1. Be curious

• Are you using your phone a lot?
• Are you looking at things that are healthy

2. Establish boundaries.

• Require or encourage a social media fast

3. Model healthy habits.

• Its easier to hide behind a screen than to live out the vulnerability that living life in person requires.
