The Social Years
“Everyone is on TikTok.”
What to say
Start here
"I understand that you want TikTok. I know it seems fun. I know your friends are on it. It's not that I don't understand. It's that I know it's not good for you, and it's not good for your brain."
The rest of the script
There's more to this one.
The other 5 steps are in the app, word for word, including what to say when they push back. Eight of the scripts are free in full, and all 35 are $19 once, no subscription. Nothing to download.

This one usually turns into an argument about how many kids have TikTok, and you're never going to win that one. I'd talk about what the app actually does and how it keeps them watching. Kids understand that a lot better than an argument about numbers, and if the app changes later, you can change your mind.
