Windows and Mirrors

Activity: We see the world through windows, and we see ourselves in mirrors.  When we have a balance of windows and mirrors in our lives, we expand our view of the world while finding comfort in seeing ourselves and our experiences reflected back to us.  

Use the concept of windows and mirrors to curate your social media feeds and help your tween do the same!  Help them identify what speaks to your family values, your child’s interests, and their goals. That’s likely the easy part!  

Now take on the challenge of helping your tween find social media accounts that allow them to peer into worlds they may not be familiar with.  Are they a humanities kid and not a STEM kid? Check out some of the great science-based options on TikTok!  Maybe your child knows all there is to know about hockey, but has never been exposed to the world of dance.  Maybe they’ll be intrigued by the athleticism of a ballet troupe you find on Instagram!
