The negative effects of social media on teens and tweens can be obvious for parents and educators, but there are seldom discussions about the positive effects of social media and the ability they have to use their social media platforms for good. When teaching students how to build healthy screen time habits, it can be helpful to also understand the positive effects of social media and the ways social media enables teens to support their mental health!
