Pink shared her strict household rules on screens and social sharing. The singer revealed in an interview that her 11-year-old daughter —Willow Sage Hart — doesn’t even have a smartphone let alone a TikTok account. “My kids don’t have a phone,” she said. “And my daughter is the only 11-year-old in her class that doesn’t have one.” “It’s hard. A lot of my friends, they have their kids on TikTok, and I don’t. I told Willow, ‘That just doesn’t move my needle. They’re not my kids. You’re my kid.” “I told her, point blank, ‘If you can produce literature from a reputable source that tells me that social media is good for you, then you can be on it. Otherwise, good luck.’” We 100% agree! Parents, ✅ Delay the smartphone until at least 8th grade with the Wait Until 8th pledge. It is easier to delay with friends and community ! Do you need to get in touch before then? Start with a basic phone. We have some options in our Instagram Story and on our website. ✅ Delay social media until 16+. ✅When you do permit social media, start slowly! Try one platform first before allowing multiple social media accounts. Set time restrictions on the social media apps. Be sure to follow their accounts and check in with what they are doing and what accounts they are following. ✅ Keep devices out of the bedroom especially at night!
