Things to do with your children
An essential to keep in mind during this lockdown is the fact that many of us have been able to cut back on the chase of our day-to-day lives and have been able to invest some quality time with the children.
In times like these, it is essential that parents use free-time to bond with their children and one of the best (and honestly, least tiring ways) to do so is by watching TV together. Now, while there may be the occasional fight over the remote about who gets to watch their favorite channel, parents can find some shows that may be interesting for both them, as well as their children to watch together.
We would also like to recommend something that parents and children can do together inside the house, with a little bit of help from Alexa. Keep scrolling to find out!
What to watch:
Name of series: Broken
Media: Netflix
What do we recommend: Episode 4 – Recycling Sham
Broken is a docuseries on Netflix that talks about the negligence on the part of industries of consumer markets that lead to dire outcomes over time.
The episode we recommend you to watch is the final episode of the series that discuss how industries market and sell single – use plastics as recyclable items and that consumers purchasing them unaware and these plastics ultimately end up in landfills or into the ocean. An excellent episode to watch with kids which not just would allow you to know more about what happens to your household items once you discard them, adding to excessive pollution but also allows kids to understand the effects of these plastics on the environment and how their use can be reduced.
