Rebekah Nijsen: Brainrot and Your Kids

from Mornings with Doug: Highlights · host Sonshine

As former Police Detective and Creator of Lighthouse Cyber Education Rebekah Nijsen explains, "it’s (brainrot) used to describe the rewiring we are doing to our brains through overconsumption of mindless and useless content online generally in short form entertainment." What does that really mean for your child in this age of tech?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
