Social media and self-esteem

Wondering how to boost childrens’ confidence? We’ve partnered with Cartoon Network’s Steven Universe cartoon to help young people build self-esteem.

Episode 5 shows how body image and social media are connected.

‘Haters’ have become an unwelcome fixture of the internet. These are people who post negative or disrespectful comments on photos, videos or other social media streams. Sadly, learning to deal with a hater is now an important life skill for your child.

The Dove Self-Esteem Project has teamed up with body positive activist Megan Crabbe @meganjaynecrabbe to provide positivity for young people through classes while they’re staying safe at home.

Social media issues permeate every aspect of a young person’s life these days, whether it’s revealing TMI (Too Much Info) about their boyfriend or girlfriend on Snapchat, having public spats with their BFF (Best Friend Forever) on Twitter or inadvertently inviting gatecrashers by posting party details on Facebook.
