Solutions for navigating an ever-changing social media world
Today’s students face a challenging paradox: the digital tools they need to complete their work are often the source of their biggest distractions. Students can quickly become overwhelmed trying to manage the daily confluence of online interactions with schoolwork, extracurricular activities, and family life. Written by noted author and educator Ana Homayoun, Social Media Wellness is the first book to successfully decode the new language of social media for parents and educators and provide pragmatic solutions to help students:
- Manage distractions
- Focus and prioritize
- Improve time-management
- Become more organized and boost productivity
- Decrease stress and build empathy
With fresh insights and a solutions-oriented perspective, this crucial guide will help parents, educators and students work together to promote healthy socialization, effective self-regulation, and overall safety and wellness.
"Ana Homayoun has written the very book I’ve yearned for, a must-read for teachers and parents. I have been recommending Ana’s work for years, but Social Media Wellness is her best yet; a thorough, well-researched and eloquent resource for parents and teachers seeking guidance about how to help children navigate the treacherous, ever-changing waters of social media and the digital world."
―Jessica Lahey, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Gift of Failure

"Ana Homayoun has written the very book I’ve yearned for, a must-read for teachers and parents.

-- Jessica Lahey, Author of New York Times bestseller "The Gift of Failure: How the Best Parents Learn to Let Go So Their Children Can Succeed""This is the book I’ve been waiting for. Ana Homayoun gives concrete strategies for parents to talk with their teens without using judgment and fear as tools. This is a guidebook you can pick up at anytime, and which your teen can read, too. I’ll be recommending it to everyone I know."
-- Rachel Simmons, Author of New York Times bestseller "The Curse of the Good Girl: Raising Authentic Girls with Courage and Confidence"
"This is the essential guide to navigating the ephemeral and transactional communications woven into the language of social media online and IRL. I relished every page of this book. It was jam-packed with sound and seasoned self-management and executive-functioning tips and systems. The research and artfully reconstructed narratives, tools, ideas, and reflective questions feed the systematic and practical approaches the author shares to empower students, parents, and educators alike. I can’t wait to add this to my professional library and share it with all of my teachers!!!"
-- Lisa Johnson, Author of "Cultivating Communication and the Classroom""I wish every parent, teacher, teen and tween knew Ana Homayoun as I do. As a journalist, she’s long been my go-to source for advice on social media dilemmas affecting families because she is smart, wise and―above all―empathetic. I’m so glad to see Social Media Wellness is now available to everyone. Buy it. Like it. Share it."
-- Steven Petrow, “Digital Life” Columnist"Keeping up with tweens and teens on social media often seems like a dizzying task that leaves us, the adults, lost and confused--too often giving up. Social Media Wellness brings great clarity to the matter offering actionable advice for parents and schools. In her typical style, Homayoun is realistic, pragmatic and refreshingly straight forward. She gets our attention without using scare tactics and then gives us, parents and educators, the tools to most effectively help out children find wellness in the social media age."
-- Andrew Davis, Head of School"In our selfie society, teens and tweens encounter constant temptations and threats to their social, emotional, physical, and academic health. Ana Homayoun’s new book provides strategies to "unselfie" our teens and develop a healthy, balanced relationship with social media."
-- Michele Borba, Author of "Unselfie: Why Empathetic Kids Succeed in our All About Me World""Ana Homayoun demonstrates how social media and our digital lives have reoriented relationships and how we think. In her book she offers vital tools and strategies for this revolution - whether you′re a teacher, parent or student. I found myself challenged from each of these viewpoints!"
-- Homa Tavangar, Global Education Adviser"Rich with stories and thoughtful interpretations of tweens′ and teens′ online habits, curiosities, and consequences, Ana provides parents and educators an especially powerful resource to confidently guide our students and children with tools, counsel and reassurance as they navigate social media. Bravo!"

When our fears are so ‘loud’ they get in the way of much needed healthy connections. Reading this book has given me a realistic, balanced and practical platform to work from and I would highly recommend it. As an adult it helps YOU to help empower your kids through this ‘playground’ so that it doesn’t have to be all bad. If you only have time to read one book on the topic THIS is the one. I literally wanted to highlight every other page while reading it.
This book invites you to engage in more informed conversations with kids, with some wonderful and practical ideas and discussion points you can have with your kids too. Thank you Ana Homayoun for giving us a better lens to look through, that promotes the power of healthy connections between adults on kids on the subject of technology!
