“TikTok Brain Rot Terms”
Heres a list of terms that users actively use and describe as “brain rot terms”
- “Only in Ohio”
- Fanum tax
- Skibidi
- Sigma
- Gyatt
- Rizz
If your kids use these terms in person, chances are they are using waaaay too much time on the phone.
But don’t worry, like all things, this can be fixed;
So let’s go over “ The Do’s and Don’ts of Lowering Your Kids Screen Time “
(From a 17 year old ex-social media addicted kid / soon to be dads perspective)
DO: ✅
- Discuss when and why they use social media the most
- Set boundaries that fit with above 👆
- Ask if they’ve seen anything interesting or funny
- Believe (and let them know) they are capable of doing more productive things in their free time than watching TikTok
- Encourage in-person socialisation - even through interacting with them more yourself
- Do the same (quit un-social media) - I’ll be honest here, my mum used to spend more time on her phone than me 🤣
- Reward them for lowering screen time
DONT: ❌
- Reward them with MORE screen time
- Punish them for using their phone
- Shame or blame them for their social media usage
- Ignore your own social media habits
- Set unrealistic expectations (phone off at ‘X’ time or only 1 hour a day etc)
- Invade your kid’s privacy
- Give up if progress is slow
- Neglect the importance of YOU interacting with them face-to-face
- Take it too serious :D - We were all kids once 🤷♂️
That’s a wrap ! I hope you enjoyed it and found it insightful.
