TikTok can be an unknown territory for most parents. Imagine gaining international fame by lip-syncing or dancing to your favorite songs. TikTok’s short video format allows users to create and watch content ranging from ridiculous and fun to graphic or even dangerous. Learn how to navigate conversations and questions with your tweens and teens in this valuable parent's guide.

Teens want fun, meaningful experiences with friends and family, but FOMO (fear of missing out) can become a stressful burden that robs them of joy. When social media creates the illusion that everyone else is living a better life, depression and anxiety can creep in. This pocket-size guide is packed with explanations, tips, and discussion questions to help parents guide their teens to live FOMO-free.

Teens thrive on validation from friends and followers. It’s no wonder that this image-saturated app tempts teens to crop their lives to perfection and create a polished online persona. Gain valuable insight into how Instagram affects teen mental health, body positivity, self-esteem, and more.

Teens trust online influencers to teach them what to buy, what to wear, and how to live―sometimes to their detriment. Dig deep into influencer culture, understand teens’ desire to follow or become social media influencers, and learn how to discuss it without sounding condemning or ignorant.

Axis Parent’s Guide to Social Media is a generational translator of a teen’s world, featuring easy-to-understand explanations, relevant descriptions, and life applications. This book bundle includes all five of our newly released books on parenting in the age of social media.
