Things to do with your teen during Covid-19
Have you been quarantined from going into your place of work and do you find yourself stuck at home with your teenager, who is unable to go to school? You may be asking yourself, what in the world am I going to do with them for a month? We have some great suggestions for ways you can come together as a family and make use of the time together to learn and grow, instead of letting them spend hours on devices and screens.
Teach some basic life skills
How to properly separate and wash the laundry
How to balance a checkbook
How to fix a leaky sink and not just with duct tape
How and when to apply for a credit card
How to properly spring clean
Fun activities to do as a family
Boardgame Night!
Redecorate a room
Have a family canvas paint night
Take the dog for a walk
Break out the WII and have a dance party

Plan a family vacation for when the quarantine is lifted.
These are just a few ideas that may get your teenager off the couch and their device out of their hands. Make sure to keep moving and breathing and keep the fun in functional during this time of uncertainty.
