Seeing many older folks and parents/grandparents including my own constantly glued to their phones or TV because they don't have anything to do.
can anyone recommend good hobbies that are easy to do and offline for older people?
Bruh I'm tired of my parents just scrolling infinity on Facebook which is filled with the most useless shit ever. Not to mention half of it is fake news.
Same here man, I want them to get off of devices. I started taking them to standup comedy shows but that's also only good for once or twice a month. Need to find other stuff for them to stay occupied that doesn't involve scams, cults or politics.
And the biggest problem is they consider everything coming out of that digital screen is true,
I've got my parents hooked onto Sudoku and reading books on health, apart from their own interest in gardening and other physical chores. But the biggest reason usually is loneliness. So make sure to give them company, listen to them, give polite ideas and help them connect. Once in a while reminding about toxicity of internet while helping to use it wisely is also a good way to let them individually navigate that part of the world. And don't be too judgemental. You can't imagine what blunder the next gen will see u doing.
Thanks for sharing
