Side Eye

Teen slang, explained for parents.

What it means

A judgmental or skeptical look. "I am giving that side eye." Now used in text and emoji form too. Light, expressive, and usually playful between friends.

How to bring it up with your kid

No concern. If they side eye you, you said something a little out of pocket. Take it lightly and keep going.

Calm guidance for raising kids in a digital world.
