I wonder what they really mean here.
(a) 5-7 year olds are "on" tiktok producing content.
(b) 5-7 year olds are watching funny videos of cats on TikTok.
My 7 year old son will sometimes watch pet and food shorts with my wife on her phone with Douyin (TikTok China). He isn't really "on" TikTok, he is just consuming some of the content while waiting for his Nasi Goreng at the Indonesian restaurant.
I seriously wonder if the vast majority of of that 30% are just watching funny dance videos or something like that on the web or on a phone as some form of screen time (damaging because it is screen time, but no more damaging than watching YouTube kids). I think it is crazy for a kid to have phone at that age, but a tablet with screen time limits is much more reasonable. Especially on Sunday when there aren't so many activities scheduled and they've already done their homework.
Screen time in general is a challenge.
