Fill Your Child’s World with Quality Offline Role Models

Intentionally introduce diverse, positive mentors. Arrange for your child to spend time with adults outside the immediate family who model values and life skills relevant for your community.

Discourage blind copying of online trends. Regularly discuss with your child why popularity online doesn’t always equal expertise or character offline.

Model your own learning and growth offline. Let your child see you seeking advice, making mistakes, and growing through real-life connections—not just online tutorials.
