I don't think you can prevent it anymore than you can prevent the impact of advertising billboards, or the news.

Parents should lead by example. Easier said than done I know, but parents need to be the idols in their children's lives. Not influencers.

If a parent leads by example they will win in the long run because influencers are fake and shallow while you're real and always there for them.

Children who seek out other role models are children who didn't, or couldn't, look up to their parents. This has always been going on. Before social media we sought out role models in school or in the streets.
