In today's digital age, social media has become an integral part of many kids’ lives. While online activity can positively impact development through learning and connection, it’s crucial that parents know and address the risks and disadvantages to properly support their teens’ safety and well-being.

This e-book explores the challenges and opportunities available to teens through social media by focusing on proactive strategies to create and foster a healthy environment—online and off.
