=== Learning Points ===

1. First impressions are important. How you set up and frame the relationship with a teen patient will set the tone for the teen’s trust, and how much they choose to confide in you in the coming years.
2. Instead of being prescriptive or setting limits, such as with social media, we can equip teens with the skills to reflect on their interactions. What does it mean to be kind in an online world? Is it leading to meaningful and constructive interactions? Or is it quickly becoming a detriment to someone’s identity and how they see themselves?
3. No matter the topic, using normalizing language can go a long way in empowering adolescents to share. When discussing topics included in the social history, using simple language can go a long way in avoiding misunderstandings. Remember, it might be the first time that teens are hearing these words being used.
