I like this advice from the American Psychological Association because (a) it's practical (b) advocates for adults to approach teen online activity with a spirit of curiosity not criticism, and (c) adopts a skills-learning perspective rather than restricting online access.

Evidence based programmes are great, but they don’t always replicate or scale effectively.
Alongside programmes, we need find other flexible and creative ways to scale evidence-based practice. Common elements approaches can help with this. This is a great short explainer.
