Various studies and respected professionals have highlighted the connection between social media and self esteem. From the pressure to portray a perfect life and false sense of friendships, to the quest for validation through 'likes' and the painfully common instances of rejection and aggression online, it can a be a dangerous place for our youth to determine their worth.
That is why Dr. Tenille (LCSW, Social media and online addictions expert) and I, Dr. Simone (The Self Esteem Doctor, Personal coach and inspirational speaker), are joining forces to prepare today's kids for what they'll face online. See what inspired this movement.
