Social media continues to shape perceptions of health, diet, and body image, often influencing children and adolescents in powerful ways. This webinar will examine how popular social media diet trends affect pediatric populations, exploring the unique developmental vulnerabilities of youth and the potential impacts on growth, nutrition, and mental health. Participants will learn how to apply patient-centered communication strategies by counseling children, adolescents, and families on social media–driven diet practices, reframing misleading claims into constructive nutrition guidance, and promoting safe, developmentally appropriate approaches to weight management
