SO
SO MANY
SO MANY OF US 4@ARE HAVING TO WORK AT HOME RIGHT NOW AND IT'S NOT
JUST ONE? IT'S USUALLY BOTH
SPOUSES. A4@ND THEN YOU MIGHT
EVEN HAVE KIDS INVOLVED. SO
JOINING ME 4@TODAY TO GIVE US4@
LITTLE ADVICE ON HOW WE CAN
STAY SANE THROUGH THIS SOCIAL
DISTANCING AND SELF WORTH DOING
IS GORDON GREER A SOCIAL WORKER
WITH PINE PRESQUE. HI GORDON
HOW ARE YOU. HOW ARE YOU
HOLDING 4@4@I'M DOING REALLY WE
ACTUALLY. THANK YOU 4@CONFINED
YES. I KNOW WE 4@ALL ARE. AND
IT'S REALLY TO THE POINT WHERE
YOU HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW CAN @
YOU MANAGE IT. RIGHT. HOW DO
YOU MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY 4@
STAYS SAFE. WHAT ARE YOUR WHAT
SOME OF YOUR ADVICE. 4@WELL I
THINK I THINK ONE THING IS JUST
ACKNOWLEDGING THAT 4@THIS IS KI
OF UNPRECEDENTED IN MOST OF OUR
LIVES AND IT'S A BIG DEAL. IT'S
REALLY AN IMPOSITION AND A
DISRUPTION TO PEOPLE'S LIVES
YOUNG PEOPLE I THINK APPRECIATE
HEARING THAT IN REAL4@IZING
THEY'RE BEING VALIDATED. A LOT
OF PEOPLE AND ADULTS ARE
FEELING REALLY CONFINED AND
REALLY CUT OFF FROM THEIR THEIR
FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES AND
THINGS OF THAT NATURE. SO I
THINK THAT'S THE FIRST THING IS
ACKNOWLEDGE THIS IS A HARD SO
WHAT ARE SOME THINGS 4@THAT YOU
CAN DO AT 4@HOME. 4@IF YOU NEED
YOUR OWN SPACE. I MEAN
SOMETIMES YOU DON'T REALIZE 4@Y
COMMUNICATE DIFFERENTLY WITH
YOUR SPOUSE AND YOUR WORK AND
FIND TOGETHER 24 RIGHT.
EXACTLY. SO I MEAN I THINK 4@
HOPEFULLY YOU HAVE A BIG
DWEL4@LING. FIRST OF ALL I WOUL
SAY BUT I 4@THINK IT'S I THINK
IT'S ABOUT COMMUNICATION
BECAUSE ALL TH4@E SUDDEN YOU'RE
IF YOU HAVE KIDS YOUR KIDS ARE @
NOT IN SCHOOL 4@4@THEY4@ MIGHT
FINDING THAT IT'S IT'S VERY
DIFFICULT TO DO THEIR HOMEWORK
TO STAY ENGAGED AND STIMULATED
AND YET THERE MIGHT BE ONE 4@4@
TWO ADULTS MAYBE MORE THAT ARE
TRYING TO WORK FROM HOME AS
WELL. SO I ACTUALLY DO TELL IT
THERAPY FROM HOME NOW FOR THE
TIME BEING AND SO WE CAN TO
TALK ABOUT IT AS A FAMILY LIFE
THAT 4@IN MY FAMILY INSTEAD OF
WHAT'S A GOOD PLACE IN THE
HOUSE ON THIS PRIVATE. AND IT
WORKS FOR YOU. 4@WE SHARED A
LAPTOP. I USE IT FOR MOST OF
THE 4@DAY BUT THEN AT THE END O
THE DAY I KNOW IT'S NO LONGER
MY TURN AND SO I MEAN I THINK
IT'S I THINK IT REALLY IS ABOUT
FAMILY COMMUNICATION AND MAYBE
EVEN HAVING A FAMILY MEETING
AND SAYING WHO NEEDS 4@TO DO
WHAT. WHEN CAN WE CAN WE TRADE
OFF AND SHARE THINGS OF THAT
NATURE. AND A LOT OF WHAT
YOU'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT HAS
BEEN VERBAL COMMUNICATION.4@ IS
THERE ANYTHING NONVERBAL THAT
HELPS IN THIS WAY OF TRYING TO
EASE HAVING TO ALL LIVE
TOGETHER UNDER ONE ROOF. WE
COMMUNICATE A LOT 4@BY MY
LANGUAGE AS YOU SAID BUT REALLY
PEOPLE'S REBELS TOO IS REALLY
IMPORTANT. SO WHEN PEOPLE IT
COMES TO PEOPLE GETTING
FRUSTRATED OR UPSET OR JUST
STRESSED UNITED I NOTICED A LOT
OF TEENAGERS 4@WHO AREN'T
NECESSARILY IN TOUCH 4@WITH THE
FACT THAT THEY'RE UPSET OR
GETTING STRESSED AND WE
SOMETIMES HAVE TO BE REALLY
AWARE OF THAT ESPECIALLY WITH
ALL THE NEWS 4@AND THINGS OF TH
NATURE. THEY MIGHT NOT TELL US
AND WHAT IS YOUR 4@BEST ADVICE
FOR LIKE DE ESCALATING A
SITUATION THAT MAY 4@4@START
TENDING TOWARDS MAYBE RAISED
VOICES OR PEOPLE ARGUING. I
THINK THE FIRST THING WOULD BE
TO TRY TO HEAD IT OFF BEFORE IT
GETS TOO FAR 4@DOWN THE PATH. A
THEN ONE THING TO ACKNOWLEDGE
NOT THAT WE'RE GOING TO 4@BLAME
KOBE 19 NECESSARILY BUT 4@BUT T
BE ABLE TO SAY HEY LET'S JUST
I'LL STEP BACK FOR A SECOND.
THIS 4@IS AN UNUSUAL
CIRCUMSTANCE. WE'RE ALL UNDER
STRESS IN A DIFFERENT WAY THIS
IS SOMETHING THAT'S HAPPENING
TO THE ENTIRE WORLD 4@AT THE SA
TIME IN DIFFERENT WAYS WHICH IS
SOMETHING I DON'T KNOW THAT 4@
WE'VE EVER REALLY EXPERIENCED
SOMETHING LIKE THAT. WE'RE ALL
UNDER STRESS SO LET'S GIVE EACH
OTHER A LITTLE GRACE. LET'S
LET'S BACK AWAY THE BEAUTIFUL
THING IS WE CAN STILL GO
OUTSIDE AND JUST 4@TRY TO REALI
THAT WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER
WE'RE ALL EXPERIENCING STRESS
MA4@YBE DIFFERENTLY BUT WE'RE A
EXPERIENCING IT REALLY 4@GREAT
