If you have a child who uses a mobile device, chances are you’ve heard of the wildly popular app TikTok. As of 2019, TikTok had a whopping one billion users. TikTok is all the rage with Gen Z—but is it safe for kids? This guide breaks down everything you need to know to decide if TikTok is right for your child.
What is TikTok?
TikTok lets users create 15-second videos that may include anything from dance challenges to comedy sketches. Formerly known as Musical.ly, the app was introduced in 2017 by a Chinese developer. TikTok filled the void for a short-form video app after the popular app Vine shut down.
How does TikTok work?
TikTok is a free app that you can download onto any mobile device. Once installed, it prompts you to create an account using a phone number, email address, Facebook sign-in, or Instagram sign-in. After you sign up, the app can search your phone or social media contacts to connect with people you know who are also using the app.

A Cool Girl's Bedroom
WHEN DESIGNER JACY PAINTER KELLY, owner of Jacy Painter Kelly Interiors, took her family to New York City last summer, her 10-year-old daughter Lucy went crazy for the cool urban vibe of their downtown hotel room. It gave Lucy the itch to makeover her own bedroom in their Fort Mill home. She wanted more mature accents like silver wall sconces and velvet pillows, paired with punk rock elements like a graffiti-inspired bed frame and pink neon sign. Luckily her designer mom knew exactly how to tie it all together.
