The #eggcrackchallenge trend involves parents cracking eggs on the forehead of their unsuspecting children. Experts warn it models bullying behavior.
The children’s ages and reactions vary in the TikTok videos. While some older children can be seen laughing along with their parent, many feature younger children who appear stunned or visibly upset as their parent laughs at them. And experts are concerned that the trend could be harmful.
“We’re talking about abuse disguised as having a bit of a laugh,” she said in a telephone interview. “For a child, the most important relationship they have is with their caregiver, whomever that should be. And that involves a trusting relationship — that this person will take care of me.” The trend appears to be popular, with some videos of parents cracking eggs on their children’s heads receiving millions of views. The hashtag #eggcrackchallenge has more than 66 million views on TikTok, but it also includes other versions of the prank not involving children.
