A new generation of parents is waking up to how damaging social media can be for their teens’ body image. But when used thoughtfully, it can also become a tool for body confidence and empowerment. Dr. Samantha DeCaro, PsyD—Director of Clinical Outreach and Education at The Renfrew Center—joins us to unpack how social media shapes teens’ self-image. She shares practical tips on recognizing red flags for disordered eating, fostering body confidence, and creating a healthier digital environment at home. As Renfrew’s national spokesperson, Dr. DeCaro is a trusted voice in the field, frequently featured in media, on podcasts, and at national conferences. She also co-hosts All Bodies. All Foods., a podcast dedicated to inclusive conversations around body image and eating disorders. For more on The Renfrew Center, visit @renfrewcenter.
