Before the pandemic, unless you
had a teenager at home, few of us had ever heard of Tik Tok. Now, we’re
obsessed. We’ve seen mothers and daughters, our favorite celebrities, and those
infamous essential worker videos that have all gone viral; and we can’t get
enough. Everyone wants in on the action. Tik Tok leveled the playing field and
took us back to a time where dance wasn’t about how good you were, but how fun
it was. It allows us to laugh at ourselves, bond with others, and learn
something new; and the quick cooking videos helped young people gain confidence
in the kitchen. We give Tik Tok “two thumbs up”, but offer a small word of
caution. If your request is declined, resist the urge to pressure your family
members into completing a video. Remember, this is your way of coping; not theirs.
Even though all of the dads are doing it, remember to respect boundaries. Otherwise,
your teenager will use your words against you and say “I don’t care what everyone
else is doing. I said ‘no’”
