SuitabookThe Teenage Guide to Digital Wellbeing
Tanya Goodin
- Reading
- Use it selectively rather than as a rulebook: try one prompt or activity at a time, discuss whether it fits your circumstances, and revisit advice about safety or unkind online behaviour together.
- Themes
- Balancing digital and offline life: The guide encourages readers to balance the digital and real worlds through habits, goals and activities away from screens. Mindful use and fulfilling offline life are presented as worthwhile, while abandoning devices altogether is explicitly not the message.
- Online relationships and pressures: The guide covers social-media comparison, inner criticism, cyberbullying, trolling and relationships online and offline. These are treated as digital challenges for readers to understand and manage, alongside advice about safety and resilience.
- Worth knowing
- The book explicitly addresses cyberbullying, trolling, online safety, comparison culture and digital distraction. The detail, examples and handling of these topics are not clear, so consider checking in during relevant sections.
