My DS 15 really struggles to navigate friendships on social media- he’s quite emotional anyway & gets very upset by things. He has delayed puberty too (We see an endocrinologist) and that’s not helping as I think he’s still quite young for his age.
He takes everything very literally and I think the nuances of social media make
it so much harder. I struggle myself with it sometimes so god knows what it’s like for teenagers still developing & maturing.
He’ll take what’s app comments to heart, easily feel left out, get paranoid that there are groups that he’s not in etc.
How do you help your kids navigate it all? It feels extra pressure
