Getting social media practices under control

March 11, 2020 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

For parents, social media is a source of constant concern. This talk taps into my research with teenagers to explain how and why teenagers engage with social media in the ways they do, and the best ways parents can guide them to develop more positive and healthy habits.

We will explore:

  • Helping teens deal with peer pressure and toxic comments on social media
  • Red flags: sharing images, unsolicited messages/contacts, scams
  • Understanding viral social media challenges eg, the recent supergluing lips challenge that teens got wrong
  • TikTok- the new social media platform young people are using
  • Positive uses of social media
