[quote]Would you be surprised to know that your daughter is dancing and mouthing words to songs with every awful word and phrase you can imagine?

How is that any different to the MTV generation (me)?  I follow my DD on tiktok, and I have told her what songs I think are inappropriate for her to listen to, and sing along with.  I have banned her on YT for accidentally seeing something she shouldn't have, so she knows I have no problem banning on her tiktok or other apps if she does something that is bad.

I'm not a fan of social media, at all, but this is how kids relate to each other now, so I don't want to completely ban them unless they give me cause.  I check my kids' phones once in a while without any warning to them.[/quote]
