Young people frequently use the filler word "gen" in conversations, often without realizing it. This verbal tic has become a habit for many adolescents, and even some parents have adopted it, making it harder for them to correct their children. Psychologists and teachers suggest that reading serious literature can help eliminate such fillers. They also recommend family activities, like a jar where members contribute a small amount of money each time they use the word, or physical exercises as a fun way to discourage its use. It's important for parents to correct their children constructively to avoid reinforcing the behavior.
