Hmm, teach them what’s important in life? What is shallow and what’s substancial or meaningful… Consequences and how to grow and find your identity and place in the world… Give them a broad perspective…

I think ultimately you can’t tell them which path to choose in life. At some point they need to decide by themselves what’s important to them. And I think as a parent it is your obligation to teach them about the world. The opportunities and choices available. Provide them with the tools (knowledge) to make good choices. Make sure their picture is diverse and their perspective includes some proper role-models. (Female) scientists, astrophysicists, doctors, artists, authors, politicians, handymen and people who do useful stuff. Make sure their perspective isn’t just watching beauty influencers on TikTok.

You can also tell them what’s important to you. Maybe have them ask their grandma, she should have some wisdom available, too.
