Welcome to the Connected Church News!
This news item is part of the weekly top 5 news bulletin (from Week 4, Nov 2022) specially packaged for leaders of Nonprofits, Churches, and Faith-based Social Ventures.

This news item might be especially useful if you are in youth ministry or if you are in any kind of family related ministry or nonprofit. TikTok has released the findings of an interesting survey called Digital Parenting Practices 2022. And this survey has findings about 13 to 17 year olds and how they respond to various situations online when they have a negative impact of a post or something like that, how the dynamics work with their parents. So this is part of our everyday life right, today with the absolute boom of short form videos like TikTok and Instagram Reels. I think as ministries and nonprofits it is important for us to understand this behavioral dynamics. And this survey findings has some interesting statistics that I think you will find useful. So I will link to it in the show notes. Definitely have a look.
