A TIKTOK GUIDE FOR PARENTS

Raising a tween/teen has always brought challenges, but now many parents feel that social media is widening the gap between them and their kids. It's hard to keep up with all the new platforms and learn the ins-and-outs of keeping our kids safe online.

It can all be so confusing! Luckily we found this amazing TikTok Guide For Parents created by Saleema Noon of Saleema Noon Sexual Health Educators, a group of engaged professionals with a focus on providing safe, inclusive and current information to children, teens and parents.
