Greenfield and his daughter were often seen together on theNew Girlalum’s TikTok account, dancing in videos and taking part in some of the viral trends. However, the dad of two says that because of the recent ban, they had a little break from the app.

“I was fine with it going away,” he admits. “I was like, ‘Okay, here we go.’ And I was like, ‘Alright, let’s put this to bed.’ But then it came back four hours later, and now I’m like, ‘What the f— do we do next?’ "

“I haven’t reinvested yet, but maybe I will,” adds Greenfield.

“We are pretty relaxed about everything, except how they treat and talk to other people. The only time we ever get mad is if we see the kids being thoughtless,” Sanchez said. “They know they always have to be kind and have compassion.”

“We tell them­ that your friends, your teachers — everyone you meet — has a story, and you should be interested in it,” Greenfield added.
