KylieandJason Kelce'sfour daughtershave years before they'll ever joinsocial media, but their parents already have thoughts aboutwhen that moment may come.
In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Kylie, 33, says she and Jason, 38, "have discussed" letting their girls —Finnley, 11 months;Bennett, 3;Elliotte, 4; andWyatt, 6 — one day use platforms like Facebook, X, Instagram and TikTok, to name a few.
"We are really the first generation that's had access to social media for as long as we have, and during our developmental years, so we are big proponents ofnot allowing our kids to have that, especially when they're young," Kylie explains of herself and her husband.
"I think it's our job as parents to let our kids be kids," she continues. "Kids are meant to play. They aren't meant to be taking on the weight of the world or deal with comments online, or feel that they're not living up to this aesthetic lifestyle they see."
Adds the mom of four: "So in an effort to protect our girls, I think we will make a conscious effort to make sure they get to play and enjoy life, and really, truly lean into being kids."

While Kylie is appreciative of the joys that social media can bring, she is also aware that it has a dark side and can sometimes be a "black hole."
"Social media can be so disappointing, because there are so many ways that it doesn't show the true scope of things, and it's not a full scope of what happens," theNot Gonna Liepodcast host says.

"People can post these beautiful things, and then you think, 'Oh, that's not what my life looks like,' and suddenly someone is down on themselves about the fact that their life isn't as aesthetic," Kylie continues.
"It also allows the opportunity for people to become keyboard warriors and post comments and messaging that otherwise would not get to the person that they're commenting on."
Kylie is one to lead by example when it comes to uplifting her four young children. She tells PEOPLE she doesn't letnegative thoughtsaffect how she talks about herself, because she knows her girlslook up to her as a role model.
"I really try my best to make sure that I speak positively about myself, even on the days that I don't necessarily feel it," Kylie, who continues her ongoing partnership withDovethrough a commercial that aired during the2026 Super Bowl, explains.
"You can say it as much as you want, but we're still human, so there are days when I find myself leading by example for our girls, recognizing, like, 'You know what? I might not feel that way right now, but it is how Ishouldbe talking about myself,' " she continues.
According to Kylie, "Motherhood has forced me into the idea that I do need to make sure that I'm speaking positively about myself."
"Becausemaking sure that girls are confidentnot only sets them up to be happier, but they will also have a more joyful feeling in life, ... and that joy can drown out the other mess," she further explains.
