Growing up in a digital world today, can expose young people to a social media feed full of comparisons, comments and cutting remarks, that can leave them feeling constantly judged, not good enough, vilified or even unworthy. For others however they appear to sail through their socials, unburdened or at least with the ability to move beyond and flourish despite the idiosyncrasies and judgement of this highly public, highly connected world. This is largely why I am often talking with young people and families about the need for digital resilience, and how this may well be the one thing that determines their ability to thrive online and off.
But how do we build that resilience? How do we help instil resilience in our young person when it doesn’t seem to be something that they were naturally blessed with?
