[Education] How can children indulge in Tiktok? French experts give effective methods

Paris, December 31 (Wang Qinming) As Tiktok became the most frequently used mobile phone software for the younger generation, French parents were also distressed by their children's obsession with short video platforms.
Although TikTok can only be used by teenagers aged 13 and above according to the official regulations, in fact, many children under the age of 13 are addicted to the entertainment and stimulation brought by short videos.
In fact, younger users are more likely to become addicted to short videos.
Samuel Comblez, a psychologist and business director of the "e-Enfance/3018" association, said, "Parents have the responsibility to care about what their children do on social networks, just as they care about the situation at school.".
According to experts' suggestions, children can be prevented from downloading TikTok first.
How do children under 13 download TikTok? They lied about their age when they registered an account.
To prevent children from downloading TikTok to their phones or tablets, you can directly activate the "Parental Control" function in the app store (Play Store for Android phones, App Store for Apple phones and other app stores).
In this way, children cannot download TikTok without permission.
Of course, you can also limit the time your child uses TikTok every day.
On the Android system, the maximum usage time of each application can be set through the "Digital Health and Parental Control" function.
On the iPhone, there is a similar function called "screen time".
Of course, while carrying out coercive measures, we also need to have a dialogue with children.
More communication with children, more understanding and concern about their lives, and knowing what they care about, what they like recently, and what they are worried about, can help them establish their own world outlook, find a balance between virtual and real life, so as to weaken the importance of video and social media in children's lives, and reduce the possibility of addiction from the root.
If you are worried about your child's contact with strangers on the Internet, you can set your child's account as a private account to manage subscribers.
This will prevent any stranger from seeing the video posted by the child.
If the age set in the account is less than 15, you cannot use the private message function.
You can check the age set in the child's account.
In addition, if you want to know what content your child views on the social platform every day, you can check the video recommendation page to see what types of videos your child usually watches.
In addition, TikTok software has a "family login" mode, allowing parents' accounts to be bound and paired with their children's accounts.
This mode can not only limit the time children spend on the application, but also filter some content, or even hide the search bar, so that children can avoid searching for content that is not suitable for teenagers after listening to classmates in school, and can also set the account to be invisible to them or unable to accept private messages.
Through this mode, the account can be more deeply managed.
