ADHD TEEN SUPPORT ON SOCIAL MEDIA (2)

Supporting a Teen on Social Media

For teenagers with ADHD, social media can be both a lifeline and a minefield. While it offers connection, creativity, and belonging, it also intensifies impulsivity, distraction, comparison, and emotional overwhelm. This course is designed to help parents and carers support their teens in navigating the digital world with awareness, boundaries, and resilience — without power struggles or shame.

You’ll learn how to set realistic screen time expectations, foster healthy habits, and guide your teen to use social media in ways that protect their mental health and build their confidence.

 

Learning Objectives

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

  • Understand how ADHD affects social media use — from impulsive posting to time blindness
  • Talk to your teen about social media without triggering defensiveness or shutdown
  • Set collaborative tech boundaries that work with — not against — ADHD
  • Help your teen recognise and manage digital overwhelm, peer pressure, and comparison
  • Address online conflict, oversharing, and safety with practical strategies
  • Encourage balance, digital self-awareness, and screen-time confidence
