Good morning,
This test keeps to what can be observed: how much of your teen's day social media takes up, the constant comparison with staged lives, what this use leaves on the picture they hold of themselves, and the content or exchanges that have made them uncomfortable. The report situates each of these four aspects from your observations.
What you receive — a report written from your answers: what stands out, what sustains it, and where to start. This week, this month, later on.
How it is built — each axis is analyzed on its own, then cross-read with the others, through clinical reading frameworks. Your detailed answers are attached as an appendix. See an example report
