Parenting a teenager in today’s digital world is tough. With social media, smartphones and online gaming at their fingertips 24/7, teens are under pressure that can affect their mental health and self esteem.

One of the big worries is cyberbullying which can happen 24/7 so parents need to keep the lines of communication open. Talking about online experiences makes teens feel heard and understood.

And screen time management is key. Setting boundaries around device use helps create healthier habits and offline activities like sports or reading.

Parents should also teach teens about online privacy and personal data. Teaching them to think critically about online content will help them navigate fake news.

And balance is key. Guidance and trust.
