Description

When it comes to kids and phones, WhatsApp is just the start. Apps like TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram, even gaming platforms like Roblox and Fortnite, all have chat features where strangers can reach them. Parents should watch for hidden accounts, disappearing messages, or sudden secrecy around the phone. The key isn’t spying –  it’s knowing what apps your kids use and keeping the conversation open.

We’re talking to Sarah Hoffman, a social media lawyer and co-founder of Klikd with psychologist Pam Tudin Buchalter. They help parents, kids, and educators build safer, smarter, and more positive relationships with technology – no fearmongering, just practical guidance for life online.
