Australia’s new Under-16 Social Media Ban is a big change for young people, especially those who rely on online spaces for connection, routine, and identity. It’s completely normal for teens to feel confused, frustrated, or overwhelmed as they adjust.
This transition is a great opportunity to:
💬 Talk openly about online safety
🌱 Build new offline social routines
💙 Support emotional regulation during the change
📱 Reset boundaries and screen habits as a family
Every family will navigate this differently, and there’s no “perfect” way to manage the shift. What matters most is communication, consistency, and compassion.
If your teen is finding this transition tough, or you’re unsure how to support them, reach out to us. We’re here to help families build healthy digital habits, manage big emotions, and strengthen connection during times of change.
