Background: Media content plays a significant role in shaping behaviors, attitudes, and lifestyle choices, especially among children, a demographic that is highly impressionable and actively engaged with various media platforms.Aims: This article explores the role of media literacy in equipping children to critically evaluate media content that promotes unhealthy lifestyles, including poor dietary choices, sedentary behavior, celebrity worship and unrealistic body ideals.Methodology: This study employs a qualitative approach, synthesizing data from case studies, government reports, and peer-reviewed academic literature to explore the role of media literacy in fostering healthy lifestyle choices among children.Findings: The findings indicate that current media literacy education programs for children are insufficient, largely because they often fail to include parental education. Parents play a pivotal role as mediators of children’s media consumption, and their active participation in media literacy education strengthens the impact of such interventions. The article argues for an integrated media literacy curriculum targeting both children and parents to create a more comprehensive understanding of healthy lifestyle practices and critical media engagement. Recommendations for policy, educational frameworks, and family-centered interventions are proposed to address these gaps.Conclusions: We emphasize the importance of a holistic approach to media literacy that includes all involved people and bodies in promoting healthier lifestyle choices among children.

Education plays a pivotal role in shaping successful business management, serving as both an ethical imperative and a strategic advantage. This article argues that investing in the education of personnel is not merely a moral responsibility but a key driver of organizational success. Educated employees contribute to higher brand value, operational efficiency, mental health, media literacy, and physical well-being, all of which synergistically enhance business outcomes. Businesses that prioritize the continuous learning and development of their workforce foster a culture of innovation, resilience, and adaptability, crucial in today’s competitive and fast-evolving markets. Furthermore, well-educated employees are better equipped to handle complex challenges, leverage technology, and uphold organizational values, thereby strengthening both internal processes and external reputation. Beyond the immediate benefits, such investments signal a company’s commitment to social responsibility, fostering loyalty among employees and stakeholders alike. This article emphasizes the multidimensional benefits of prioritizing education in business strategy and highlights practical approaches for integrating educational initiatives into corporate frameworks.
