Khloé Kardashian is keeping her kids off the internet — for now.
On a recent episode of her Khloé In Wonder Land podcast, the 41-year-old opened up about why her daughter True, 7, and son Tatum, 3, do not have access to the internet or social media.
“It’s normal to them to experience paparazzi. It’s strange, but that’s the norm. They’re not questioning it,” she explained. “And they don’t have social media. They don’t have the Internet in any way. My kids don’t have Google. They don’t have anything like that. So, they don’t know what even that means.”
Kardashian said she does not believe young children need access to social platforms.
“It’s just a different world. I don’t know how to explain it really,” she continued. “When they’re old enough, they will figure it out. I don’t believe kids — my son is 3 [and] my daughter’s 7½ — [should] be on social media in my opinion. They don’t need to know about the Internet.”
That includes TikTok.
“My daughter will be like, ‘I want to film a TikTok.’ They don’t know what TikTok is because I never talk about TikTok,” she said. “They think that means a dancing video, and so we’ll just film dancing and that’s them dancing on my tables and just having fun. But, they don’t know about like trending sounds unless I show them something.”
As for when that might change? Kardashian has a loose plan. She said she’s considering giving True a phone for her golden birthday on April 12, 2030, when she turns 12.
“That doesn’t mean she’ll get social media. That means she gets a phone,” she said. “I don’t think kids should have social media until, I mean, I would love 16 [or] 17, but a phone we’re discussing on her 12th birthday.”
Kardashian welcomed True in April 2018 and Tatum in July 2022. She shares both children with ex Tristan Thompson and has previously described their co-parenting dynamic as a “great friendship.”
