Do you think children should wait until their teens before getting social media?
On February 25, 2026, Khloé Kardashian said on her podcast Khloé in Wonder Land that her children have no internet, Google or social media access. She said the cameras that have followed True and Tatum since birth have not led them to watch the family's reality programming.
Why it matters
Kardashian said she does not believe young children need exposure to the online world and would ideally like children to wait until 16 or 17 before having social media accounts. Her comments add a parent's perspective to the national debate over children's screen and social media use.
Kardashian said True, now 7.5, and Tatum, now 3, have never watched the family's reality shows and do not scroll TikTok or follow trending sounds unless she shows them something. Kardashian has said she would consider giving True a phone around age 12, though a phone would not automatically mean social media access.

The details
Kardashian discussed the topic on her podcast, saying she tells her children she is famous because she is a nice person who treats others with respect rather than explaining the show's popularity. She said True sometimes asks to make TikTok videos and associates the platform with dancing, and that the children do not fully grasp their mother's celebrity status.

Culture Shift
Kardashian's preference to delay social media until 16 or 17 reflects a broader parental push in the United States to postpone children's online access, a shift away from earlier smartphone and social media adoption. Her household's approach, which keeps young children away from the internet while they are still forming their sense of their mother's fame, illustrates how celebrity families are part of that cultural conversation.
For parents of pre-teens, Kardashian's example shows one approach: delaying phones and social media, and explaining a parent's public fame in simple terms. Families weighing when to give children devices can consider whether a phone would come with automatic social media access, as Kardashian noted it would not.
The takeaway
Parents deciding when to introduce phones can separate device access from social media access and plan for each on its own timeline.
