What Parents Need to Know About Social Media & the Teen Brain
Social media isn’t just a tool—it’s a mirror, a stage, and a battleground for self-worth.
The teen brain is still developing its sense of identity and reward system—and platforms like TikTok and Instagram feed that system constantly.
🧠 Every like = a dopamine hit
😶🌫️ Every scroll = more comparison
🚫 Every missed message = fear of exclusion
Ask your teen this week:
“What do you think social media wants from you?"
“And what do you want from it?”
It’s not about removing the tech—it’s about teaching kids to use it without letting it use them.
