Our teens’ social lives are sometimes quieter, busier, or spicier than we might wish. Regardless, we want, ideally, to help them navigate the social realities they face, even if we wish those realities were different.

For kids, a new school year can bring new worries about fitting in socially. It can be helpful to reassure them that when it comes to having friends, quality always beats quantity.

As we send our kids back to school, it’s helpful (and fun) to remember our own new beginnings. Here’s me starting nursery school, in third grade, fifth grade, and starting seventh grade!

Thanks to the terrific team @cbsmornings for helping spread the word about how to have essential conversations with teens. And thanks to @Gallup and @WaltonFamilyFdn for partnering with me on this critically important topic.

Parents’ top concerns about raising kids include mental health and experiences on social media, according to new research — but those are not the topics they are discussing most often with kids.
@LDamour shares tips on how to start difficult conversations.

I have often said that I wish adolescents came with a “how to” manual. This book by @LDamour is close! I highly recommend to all parents and caregivers. Listened to the audiobook on Libby while driving, walking and folding laundry for those who struggle to find time to read.

If you are thinking about giving your tween or teen a phone, my advice is to take a step-wise approach. Start with texting only and see how things go. Thanks to @sesameworkshop for inviting me to write up my five-step approach. #10to20 #asklisa joanganzcooneycenter.org/202…

The algorithms that drive social media determine what our kids see online. This is a huge problem if your teen's feed is flooded with hate-based or otherwise toxic content. Talk to your teen about how the algorithms work and what's dominating your teen's feed. #10to20

Kids aren’t always able to see their part in peer conflicts. For more on how to help kids manage conflict and bullying, tune into Episode 166 of the @asklisapodcast: “My kid is being bullied. What should I do?” loom.ly/TvTzTt8
