Did you know that many of the social media sites have an age restriction of 13+ to have an account?

TikTok is one of these sites and is becoming very popular amongst children.    

TikTok is a social network for sharing user-generated videos, mostly of people lip-synching to popular songs. Users can create and upload their own videos where they lip-synch, sing, dance, or just talk. Users can also browse and interact with other users' content, which covers a wide range of topics, songs, and styles.

While there are benefits to some online sites there are also risks associated regarding inappropriate or upsetting content, contact with unknown people and conduct such as cyberbullying.  You can help your child learn to manage internet safety risks by being a role model, and talking with your child about online content and activities.

The website of the eSafety Commissioner has some great resources for parents and children to make online experiences safe and positive.
