Even better, let your teenagers help you with some daily chores that can help reduce your household chores and workload. This will teach them how to be more responsible as they do these tasks such as laundry, cooking, washing the car, vacuum cleaning or organizing the kitchen or linen pantry or closets, the list goes on. Nowadays, in the age of technology (tech age), the norm is for family members to communicate among themselves by texting each other, even though they are reside in the same house. The tech age has brought about a new level of isolation among family and friends where no one talks to each other anymore, and all forms of communication is via text, with the exaggerated use of emoticons to “express ones feelings” or even worst, they all hang out on social media platforms and communicate there with no physical interaction.
In the ‘age of coronavirus‘ as I like to call it (as coronavirus has done enough damage that it needs to have an ”era” of its own in my opinion) we keep hearing people saying that they are bored, or theirs kids are driving them nuts. Really? I won’t dwell too much on the younger kids, as I have already said what I needed to say about that but my question is,
Why are you bored when there are so many things to do that you might never have been able to do, had you not had this much free time due to self-isolation?”
