Here are some ideas to “reduce” cabin fever -

1.  Give them the opportunity to engage in vigorous exercise.

2.  Put some creative arts and crafts together.

3.  Libraries are still a good place to be.

4.  Turn OFF the TV!

What Do GenZ’rs Wish?

Have you asked a GenZ kid what they wish their parents understood? BuzzFeed did. What are some of the things they found? You can google this, by the way, but you will never have the real-world experience of dealing with GenZ’s (who are generally still kids in 2023) the way New York/New Jersey child psychologist Dr. Steven Sussman does.

Some of what they said are -

1.  Recovering from something is NOT the same as “getting over it”.

2.  Not every problem emanates from my cell phone.

3.  I won’t be able to afford a place of my own…EVER!

4.  We can’t stand it when you start a sentence with “back in my day”.

5.  Depression and anxiety are real.
