Saw a video of an interview – don’t know who the person was, but his advice was profound.
When asked how to shield a daughter from the evils of social media, he shared two steps.
- Try to limit social media exposure.
- Most importantly, build self-esteem.
But how do we build self-esteem? By encouraging real achievements, nurturing talents, and reinforcing self-worth beyond likes and comments.
When we focus on skills, character, and inner growth, external noise loses its grip.
Instead of just restricting social media, shouldn’t we also strengthen the one using it?
