More fun ideas for vidcons with kids during COVID – get cooking!

COVID has us isolated in our homes, but it doesn’t have to keep us apart from the kids we love.

We have the technology, from FaceTime to Skype, from Zoom to Google Meet, WhatsApp, you name it… So, connecting electronically, we can do.

But how do we turn this electronic connection into a deeply personal loving connection, which brings the children we love oodles of happiness, helps them feel understood (which they need now, during these uncertain times, more than ever) and keeps them thriving? Simple: make your vidcons (or phone calls or texts) fun – and keep the kids you love coming back for more!

Try this simple idea to stay connected – and to deepen your connection – with the children you love during COVID-enforced isolation.

• Try virtual cooking together: teach the five to tween you love, how to cook something you love. Bring the two together! ‘Cook’ can simply mean ‘prepare’, such as in how to prepare your favourite sandwich, snack or treat.

And while your cooking:

• Look for opportunities to engage in ‘sidetalk’ (a technique to broach topics that might, otherwise, be difficult to discuss more directly). It might be a nice chance to ask the children you love how they feel about the current COVID situation… and to provide them with cups and cups of love and reassurance 🙂
