Lesson 2
IN THIS LESSON
Conversations are Key
Starting conversations about social media can feel awkward, especially if past attempts haven't gone well. In this lesson, you'll learn how to talk with your teen about their digital world in a way that invites them in rather than putting them on the defensive. You'll get specific question frameworks that actually work, strategies for becoming genuinely curious (not suspicious) about the platforms they use, and tips for letting your teen be the expert while you listen and learn. The goal is to build understanding and keep the lines of communication open, even when you're worried.
