- Abstract
- The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between social media use, education, and the mental health of elementary school–aged children. A secondary aim was to determine whether the use of social media platforms, particularly TikTok, has contributed to an increase in mental health concerns among children in this age group. A critical review of the literature indicates a growing number of elementary school children being diagnosed with mental health issues. At the same time, researchers have raised concerns regarding the impact of social media on children’s educational outcomes, mental well-being, and self-esteem, particularly due to exposure to unrealistic and idealized content. Despite these concerns, findings suggest that TikTok and similar platforms may offer educational and social benefits when used appropriately. In conclusion, intentional collaboration among parents, educators, and children is essential to foster a healthy digital environment that maximizes the positive effects of social media while minimizing its potential risks.
