Social media doesn’t just entertain—it shapes beliefs.
Teens absorb thousands of messages a day about what’s beautiful, successful, or worthy. It’s no surprise that their inner critic gets louder.
As parents, we can help shape their inner coach instead.
💬 Try saying:
✔ “I love how you show up in the world—not just how you look.”
✔ “You don’t need to perform to be seen.”
✔ “Take a break if it’s making you feel small.”
Ask: “Who do you follow that actually makes you feel more like you?”
