1. SOCIAL MEDIA IS EXPOSING BAD PARENTING STRATEGIES

We’re living in an era with some of the worst parenting strategies of all time. I genuinely believe that in a hundred years, people will look back at this time and wonder what we were thinking when it comes to how we’re raising our kids.
My mom did an incredible job raising me, and I try to always use her as an example for other parents.
My mother taught me how to believe in myself the most, while still allowing me to recognize the value in others. She always supported and cheered me on for the right things, but never felt the need to award me with “8th place trophies.”
She downplayed the things that she knew didn’t matter as much for me (like school) while also teaching me to respect them at the same time. Like, I couldn’t run wild in school or curse at my teachers.
And when I did do something wrong, she gave the appropriate repercussions. She gave me the perfect mix of freedom, support, acknowledgement and most importantly, she was able to see my strengths and encouraged me to play to them.
She instilled massive amounts of self esteem in me.
Most kids aren’t so lucky. Instead of building up self esteem in kids around their strengths, a lot parents use their kids to build their own self esteem.
And it shows.
For example… a lot of parents are afraid of their kids using Snapchat because it has a rep for being a “sexting platform.” They’re afraid that their kids will get tricked by the platform and it’ll change their behavior.
But it’s not that simple.
Recently, I ripped apart a mother that I’m an acquaintance with who got very upset with my points of view on social media. I essentially told her… “maybe if you didn’t keep telling your daughter that she needed to ‘get skinnier’ when she was young, she would have better body image and wouldn’t have turned out the way she did.”
If a young girl is sending inappropriate photos to a guy in her class who gives her positive reinforcement, it’s most likely because she didn’t get that positive reinforcement at home. Not because Snapchat “made her do it.”
Another example:
A lot of kids parents complain that kids compare themselves to others on social media, and that creates insecurities in their kids. But parents are the ones comparing their kids with other kids first.
Parents are putting judgement on their kids based on how other parents view them. And because that makes the kid uncomfortable with themselves, they feel insecure when they compare themselves to others.

If kids are using platforms in bad ways, it’s not the platform’s fault. It’s the parenting strategies that caused that behavior to manifest in the first place.
