Once they seem to have a grasp of those underlying potential themes, parents can decide if the kiddos have earned their trust to watch videos on their own. This is why I would recommend watching the videos together to be able to have these discussions and allow kids the opportunity to verbalize which videos they think are appropriate. Young kids using TikTok likely don’t have the know-how to discern when something is mocking or discriminatory or has a sexual undercurrent. I've also witnessed some discriminatory tendencies, such as videos mocking a certain style of dressing, ethnic accents or just cruelly imitating others. But a dance move by a youngster that demonstrates sexual poses, looks or suggestion is clearly not OK by me, and I believe this merits a discussion with my kids about why it isn't. That’s because some of the posts are, as I've seen, overtly sexual, discriminatory and self-serving.įor example, a cool dance move is one thing. In my opinion, TikTok users in their teens and tweens need an adult to supervise what they are seeing and be prepared to have frank, real-time conversations about what is appropriate. But with so much content, it can be hard to separate the wheat from the chaff. There are posts about makeup, fashion, politics, humour and the beauty of the world. There does seem to be something for everyone. You also always have the option to view the videos without posting anything yourself, if you want to be more passive. I also like that there are privacy settings, so if you and your kids do decide to post anything, you can restrict who sees it (only approved followers would have access). There are also a lot of cute animal videos, which seem fairly harmless.
If your kids love to sing or dance, they'll get a kick out of some of the routines and lip syncs. There are some very creative videos out there. 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.

Singers like Loretta Lynn and George Strait have been bringing the laughs for decades. But humor in country music certainly isn't a new thing. They released their debut album, The K is Silent, in May 2020. Dierks Bentley went so far as to form a hilarious country music parody band called Hot Country Knights.
