While the TikTok ban has been delayed for now, the debate over its impact on kids’ screen time and online safety continues. Many frequent users of TikTok were in turmoil over the potential ban – some saying they were “grieving” the loss of the app.

The reaction to the potential loss of this app begs the question: Do we need to re-evaluate how much value we are putting into it?

Now that this ban is delayed, what steps can parents take to manage the time kids spend on the app and ensure they engage responsibly?

Adam Holz, editor of Plugged In, joins us to discuss this topic, addressing issues such as:

• Setting clear boundaries.
• Creating family rules.
• Having open conversations.
• Encouraging alternative activities.

Even as the apps’ future remains uncertain, by staying involved and creating a safe digital environment, parents can help their kids enjoy TikTok with healthy limits.
