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?
