Children’s Mental Health Week: Tuesday: Social Media & Self-Esteem

📢 It’s Children’s Mental Health Week!

Children’s Mental Health Week (February 5–11, 2024) is a great opportunity to raise awareness about the challenges kids face in the digital world and offer practical tips to help parents support their children’s well-being.

Tuesday: Social Media & Self-Esteem

Social media can be a highlight reel—not real life. Teens especially compare themselves to filtered perfection, which can impact their self-esteem.

🔹 Tip for parents: Teach your child to question what they see online.

Ask:
✔️ “How does this post make you feel?”


✔️ “Do you think this is real or edited?”


✔️ “What do you like about yourself offline?”
