I’m sure you’ve heard the saying “If all your friends jumped off a bridge, would you do it too?”

Maybe you’ve even said it to your child, I know I have : )

Well, nowadays it’s not only their friends who are “jumping off a bridge”…

It’s the whole internet.

Every time our kids pick up their phones, fire up their laptops, or tap on their tablets, they are bombarded with constant distractions and peer pressure.

This constant exposure to new viral trends and time-sucking apps relentlessly pushes them to conform and fit in.

• Everyone is doing this new dance, so I’m doing it too.

• Everyone is listening to this new song, so I’m listening too.

• Everyone is on this new app, so I’m downloading it too.

Unsurprisingly, most kids struggle to stay true to themselves and figure out what they want.

The internet is pointing them in every direction but the one they should be looking at.

Themselves, their goals, and their dreams.

And while this is a daily battle that our kids must fight…

It’s also a massive opportunity.

Think about it…

Mindlessly following trends is the opposite of standing out.

Students who follow their own path and truly understand themselves won’t just look different.

They will be different.

They will become the “1 of 1” candidates colleges are looking for.

The types of students who can easily showcase original accomplishments, unique perspectives, and a story that’s congruent with who they are.

This is one of the many things we help parents and students achieve in our Foundations Program.

We guide them in setting the right goals based on their child’s dreams and aspirations.

And we back this up with a custom-built educational plan to leverage their strengths.

Because while we can’t completely shield our children from the world…

We can set them on the right path and equip them with the best tools.
