RE: Wired for Validation--- The Silent Crisis of Adolescent Minds in the Age of Social Media

I'm not an expert in this, but instead of just neglecting them of bombarding them with different questions to force them to open up, make the feel secure around you by telling them to feel free to lay their heavy burden on you anytime. Most parents are not making the environment convenient for their young ones, hence they result into going deaf and make the social media their go to do routine. Ask them creative and innovative questions about how their day went. Not everytime "go and carry your assignment" "go and read". Be empathetic, listen to them, be positive in your actions towards them because they are looking at everything you do.

I don't know if this would help a little.
