10 year old asking for TikTok
Every single kid at school has TikTok now apparently and mine is the only one without it. He's begging us daily. I think he's too young and the algorithm stuff worries me but my wife thinks we're being overprotective. Thinking about letting him have it but with screen time limits and me able to see what he's watching. Is that a reasonable compromise or am I crazy for even considering it?
Just say no and stick with it. I know that sounds harsh but the FOMO passes and there are better apps for kids anyway. TikTok's algorithm is basically designed to hook kids and keep them hooked.
