How to navigate virtue education with teenagers in the digital age

My teenage daughter spends hours on apps that claim to teach mindfulness and self-improvement, and I want to support her growth but I also think she's missing the point about virtue requiring real relationships and community. We can't talk about it without her thinking I'm just being anti-technology.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The desire to support growth collides with concern that virtual virtue might bypass the messiness of actual human development.
