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.&nbsp;
How should we address this as
1. Be curious
<ul>
 <li>Are you using your phone a lot?</li>
 <li>Are you looking at things that are healthy</li>
</ul>
2. Establish boundaries.
<ul>
 <li>Require or encourage a social media fast</li>
</ul>
3. Model healthy habits.
<ul>
 <li>Its easier to hide behind a screen than to live out the vulnerability that living life in person requires.</li>
</ul>
Slang of the day
<ul>
 <li>Buy the Dip</li>
</ul>
