'I have seen a huge difference in my son.'

He started talking about a garden and became interested in plants and seeds. Whenever we went out, he’d ask if we could stop at the local hardware store so he could get more seeds for his collection. Then he asked if he could build some raised beds in the backyard and a fence to keep the deer out. Honestly, I thought he might lose interest since he had never expressed a huge interest in nature. I was wrong, though.
“I took TikTok off my phone. I was watching it too much, and I realized there are so many other things to do,” he said. My son is calmer and happier and says he has no desire to download TikTok again. His grades are better, and his attention span is longer. Of course, he does spend time on his phone. He likes snapping with his friends and still has other apps like Instagram and Facebook, but he says he’s not drawn to those apps like he was with TikTok.
