In trying to decide where I stand in the TikTok debate, here’s what I have found and experienced. While some parents love and support TikTok, others are concerned and limit its use. Different privacy settings exist, which is somewhat reassuring. However, comments are allowed and could of course be negative or inappropriate. You can follow your friends and other accounts, and “heart” videos - there is no “dislike” option. Some are downright inspirational others are cringe-worthy. On TikTok, you can see a variety of short videos, everything from lip syncs and dance moves to random music clips edited with hash tags and effects. Then I learned that most of my kids’ school was deeply entrenched in the app - think Fortnite levels of interest and addiction - and that high school students were equally, if not more, entranced.
When I first heard of it a while back I thought it was a website to look at dance moves and quickly lost interest. I had heard of TikTok, but didn’t really understand its reach. Kids not into TikTok? More into Fortnite? Read how this mother handled a child who was becoming addicted to the game here.įrom that moment, I was thrown into the world of video sharing, so I had to quickly learn what I could about what is arguably the most popular video-sharing app. During any downtime, all attendees wanted to do was look at the 15-second looping video clips, talk about what they had viewed, make their own videos and post them. It was wonderful, delicious and educational, and exactly what my daughter had asked for.īut, you know what, I didn't need to bother.Ĭlearly all the party needed was a smartphone and the TikTok app.

For my daughter’s 10th birthday party in the fall, I brought in a chef to teach the girls how to make homemade chicken nuggets and pizza from scratch.
