That is reasonable.

Do you have a plan yet for when they grow out of that choice?

The internet will wait.

Your child’s ambitions will increase.

The groundwork you lay now is what future complexity will rest upon.

Your child’s TikTok access will only be limited to the access of their friends.

My parenting advice is know how committed to the work of locking things down you really are (not how committed you think you should be).

And recognize that people with strong opinions are likely to be more committed to that than you and/or be part of a culture with different norms for parent-child relationships.

The answer that you want is what you want. Your child is not you.

What does your child want?



Ice cream for 3 meals a day, obviously.


We all grow up to want a pony an M&M’s for breakfast as adults.
