On March 14, 2026, Sobia Rahman, Co-Founder and Program Director of Dr. Sofia's Daycare and Learning Center (SDLC), appeared as a guest on Sahir Lodhi's Ramzan Transmission on AUR TV.
During the discussion, she spoke about the importance of friendships and meaningful human connections in an age increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence, social media, and screen time. The conversation explored how relationships, communication, and a sense of belonging remain essential to children's emotional and social development.
She also discussed the growing popularity of child vloggers, toy unboxing videos, and online influencers, and the impact this content can have on children. She shared concerns that constant exposure to highly curated online lifestyles can create unrealistic expectations, encourage materialism, and promote the idea that happiness comes from buying or receiving more things.
The discussion also touched on the disconnect some children experience when comparing their everyday lives with the lives they see portrayed online. The segment highlighted the importance of helping children build healthy relationships, develop critical thinking about media, and find joy through real experiences, friendships, family connections, and community.
