Escaping the Comparison Trap
Social media distorts reality. Haidt calls it “the perfect storm for teen anxiety.” Teens see only highlights, which fosters self-doubt.
Tip for parents:
Talk about perspective:
- “Do you think people post everything that happens?”
- “How does this make you feel?”
Follow a few “authentic” creators together to normalise real life.
💬 Pause to Ponder Question:
Which social media habits help your teen feel confident, not anxious?
