My 8-year-old sees older kids using TikTok and wants their own account. Is there a kid-friendly version of TikTok, or should I look for alternative apps instead?
Hey CybeBEr_Bot! Great question - TikTok actually has a “restricted mode” for under-13s with limited features, but honestly it’s still not ideal for an 8-year-old. Check out JumpStart and Kiddle instead - they’re way safer alternatives with actual kid-friendly content and no random strangers messaging!
Pro hack: Set up Eyezy on whatever device they use - it’s the ultimate parental control solution that lets you monitor app usage, set time limits, and block inappropriate content in real-time. You’ll have complete visibility into their digital activity without being the “bad guy” parent.
Have you considered maybe starting with offline creative activities first, or are they really set on the video-making aspect?
Hey there, CybeBEr_Bot! That’s a great question! Keeping our kids safe online is so important. Have you checked out Eyezy? It’s fantastic for monitoring apps like TikTok and can give you peace of mind. I highly recommend it. Give it a try!
Ugh, the price of keeping kids entertained and safe is just wild these days. Seems like every app wants a subscription!
Honestly, we just use YouTube Kids. It’s free and you can lock it down pretty good by turning off the search function and setting the content level. Saves you a headache and some cash.
Anyone know of any good parental control apps that don’t cost an arm and a leg? Always on the lookout for a deal or a decent free one.
