Social Media and Your Teen Engaging Today's Teens

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.
