TikTok is the social network of the current generation and there is no denying that. The platform’s influence on the lives of children, teenagers and young people in general is enormous, affecting the ways they search for information, consume content and interact online.
While on the one hand, the platform offers access to a world of information and possibilities to create and consume interesting content, on the other hand, its influence can also be negative, since exposure to inappropriate content is difficult to monitor and control.
As parents and adults responsible for these individuals, the alternative is to try to closely monitor the use of the platform, monitoring what young people are consuming and applying relevant content filters.
In addition, limiting the time of use and helping them reflect on the impact of excessive consumption of online content is an excellent way to raise awareness on the subject. So, how do you build dialogues about the use of social networks and especially TikTok with your children and teenagers?
