The really bleeping stupid part is that she actually has the means to create some decent content, rather than just rely on the rampant consumerism that she has always known. As a well off lady in a nice home with a back yard, I'll list off some video ideas she could do over the next month:
- "Random Acts of Kindness With Kids" - draw happy chalk messages on the footpath outside neighbours' homes, record a video message and send to a loved one, write some cards/draw a picture and send to a nearby nursing home, etc
- "Care basket for XX" = this ties in to her love of hauls, but she could look at what could be put into a care basket for an elderly neightbour, a single parent, someone who lives alone, or even go through the top 10 items requested by foodbanks at this time
- "How to spice up your daily walk" for kids, she could put together things like scavenger hunts, numeracy activities (counting items, recognising patterns, distance x time etc), rock dropping
- Getting the garden ready for spring - planting summer bulbs, getting a little raised bed or clearing a patch of garden for a veggie bed, even how to make a basic greenhouse out of old squash bottles and starting some seeds - kids love that kind of thing
- Implementing a 'Household Community' chore system - she has three kids of varying ages, talk about what it's appropriate to ask each age to do, and how to motivate them to be giving and responsible members of a household community and contribute to the house
... oh wait. If she did that, she wouldn't be able to play the martyr and do all the housework. To do activities on a walk, it would have to be longer than 5 minutes. To work in the garden would actually take regular maintenance and energy. And SHE'S the one who gets care packages dropped round to HER (Thanks Auntie Debbie).
Maybe I should pack in being a teacher and get on this insta-shilling gravy train - I have some ideas!!
