Is TikTok Safe for Kids?

 TikTok is no doubt one of the most popular Social Media apps today. TikTok is the source of today's most famous trends which is more popular among the app's young users.

Kids today are more exposed to Social Media, especially TikTok. That is why it's not surprising to know that the number of children/teens who are getting more addicted to their phones is increasing each year. While the app is good for entertainment, you should know that a lot of TikTok's contents are not child-friendly. Your kid can easily be exposed to bullying, nudity, harassment, sex offenders, hate speech, dangerous stunts, and more.

With these risks and dangers, it is recommended to monitor your kid's TikTok usage. Or you can always stop them from using the app by blocking TikTok on your router. It may sound impossible, but there are ways to do it.

Or you can also stop your kid from accessing the web by removing their internet access. Another option is to use a monitoring tool to see all their phone activities. Pretty cool right?

Well, no matter what method you use, just make sure that your kid can adjust to the changes and explain to them why you are doing such restrictions.
