Brainrot was crowned the Oxford English Dictionary Word of the Year in 2024.
This article was published recently on our school online safetyhub that is provided by Linewize- our school filtering system. It is a parent's guide to understanding what Brainrot is, and how it may impact on your child.
There is the potential for screen addiction, and it reminded me of a video clip on Facebook that was sent to me by a parent in our community where it gave a teacher's perspective on screen addiction. It has some interesting thoughts in it.
A further article from our online hub asks if screentime is stealing sleep (and smarts) from our children. It offers hints on what you may observe in your children and how to help them reclaim sleep and restore focus.
