Drive Moment - The "Cool" People That Your Kids Admire

Loading player...
You know who they are... when your child sees this person on TV or on socials, they get "That" look in their eyes. They love emulating this person's style, love acting like them, and even know everything about them! Your child will even nag you constantly to take you to see this person at events, and to buy their products. People like singers, actors, sports stars, socialites, influencers and even fictional animation characters. It could also be your friends and family members that they take a strong liking to. As children love emulating people, as they develop their own likes, dislikes, character, and make sense of the world around them. These people/characters serve as source of inspiration even if the phase doesn't last forever. Who are these people in your child's life?
