Do you prohibit your kids from watching skibidi toilet?

My 9 year old has been saying this. It's the latest little boy dirty word apparently . I wouldn't take it to seriously.

I actually make them watch it and write a report about every episode.

Oh for Pete’s sakes. My third grader has seen it and shown it to me and we had a good laugh about it and occasionally she sings the song and we laugh and that’s it. I don’t see the big deal unless the kid is being disruptive in class (about this or anything else). It’s stupid kid stuff and will run its course.

My kids aren’t allowed to watch it, but they know what it is from classmates. And it seems to have infiltrated its way into Roblox (which we have to monitor/limit because I don’t love all the games on there). They get less than an hour per week of video games, so there isn’t major exposure.

I do let them listen to the song. It’s catchy (tons of remixes of it) and harmless. There isn’t anything bad in the song.

This is my middle ground of not just letting my kids access weird garbage on YouTube, but also not becoming some out of touch parent that totally prohibits my kid from being a part of the elementary kid trends. If you’re on TikTok you’ll know that skibidi has been big with this age group for a while now across the country.

Last week they actually kept most of their 15 minutes, which means I kept more of my sanity and instructional time. Progress!

Why are you doing whole-class punishment when only a subset misbehaves? What does that teach the girls in the class about who matters and who doesn't?

Agree that it should be punished but not the whole class. Just the kids saying it

Singing a song concerns you and makes you think the parents are neglectful? My goodness. You know kids pick this up at school and know the song without even watching it? You’re making some pretty big logical leaps based on nothing.

Did you read closely? She’s offering the class up to 15 minutes EXTRA recess by not mentioning it.

LOL. We limit screen time, especially YouTube, but I’ve accepted my kids are going to get exposed to things like this and it’s not new, just delivered in a different, more pervasive format. My youngest (2nd grade) was the first in our house to mention it and she hadn’t seen it, only heard the song.

I remember “milk, milk, lemonade”, “spell I cup” and other worse, inappropriate humor starting in early ES, a lot of which I did not understand. Thankful my parents did not make me feel like they were going to punish me for it if I mentioned it at home, rather discussed and set boundaries.

Spell out "I cup."

Height of elementary school humor.

Milk, milk, lemonade, this is where the chocolate's made. Private parts.

PS skibidi toilet is hilarious for about a minute. I don't think kids care beyond that.
