Pink has banned her 11-year-old daughter from social media until she can prove it is good for you.
The Just Give Me A Reason singer revealed Willow is the only child in her class who doesn’t have a mobile phone.
While a lot of her friends’ kids are on TikTok, Pink says she worries for her children being online because of her fame.
The mum-of-two, who also shares six-year-old son Jameson with husband Carey Hart, shared her fears her kids would be trolled and said she just wants to protect them.
Even though Pink herself has 9.4 million followers on Instagram and sometimes shares snaps of her children, she said she isn’t ready to let the world “eat them up” yet.

Speaking on the Carolina with Greg T In The Morning Show on KTU 103.5 FM, the singer shared: “My kids don’t have a phone.
"My daughter is the only 11-year-old in her class that doesn’t have one. It’s hard. A lot of my friends have their kids on TikTok and I don’t.”
Explaining her decision, Pink said: “I told Willow, ‘That just doesn’t move my needle, they’re not my kids, you’re my kid.’
The singer, whose real name is Alecia Beth Hart, said it was different for Willow than some of her friends as she is the daughter of a famous person.
“She has a lot of eyes on her,” said the 43-year-old, adding her children’s mental health is more important than her school friends thinking she is “cool”.

Revealing the one thing Willow can do to prove her mum wrong, Pink said: “I told her point blank if you can produce literature from a reputable source that tells me that social media is good for you, then you can be on it.”
She added: “She could be a lawyer, she could literally pass the bar. She’s always right. She might actually find that literature, but good luck.”
Pink is currently promoting her new album Trustfall, which has been three years in the making.
Her two kids will be heading back out with her when she goes back on tour, starting in the UK in June, as they always tour as a family.
“I’m so lucky to be able to bring my kids with me and all of my guitar players’ kids are going to be there... it’s amazing,” she said.

Pink has previously revealed daughter Willow a minimum-wage job while they are on the road.
Her exact duties are not known, but her mum admitted her eldest child still had a thing or two to learn about negotiating pay.
She told the Today show: "I said it's about $22.50 a show depending how long I go, if I run over. She goes, 'I'll take $20. it’s easier to do the math.'
“I'm like 'That's not how you negotiate for yourself.' I'm like, 'You’ll take $25 so it's easier math.'"
The first stop on Pink's worldwide tour is Bolton on June 7, before multiple dates in Sunderland, Birmingham and London.
She will be back in the States on July 26 for a show in Cincinnati, Ohio - with the epic tour going all the way through to March next year.
