Coronavirus Update: Couples Seek Tips On Getting Along During Quarantine
SAN FRANCISCO (KPIX 5) — Bay Area residents are entering week four of the coronavirus shelter-in-place order. Some people call it "Quarantine" while others call it "The Lockdown." But what you call it may depend a lot on your attitude and who you're spending all that time with in close quarters.
Sometimes all that closeness can create emotional close calls.
Erica London is a licensed marriage family therapist. She says business is booming as she helps people with counseling sessions via Skype. The same issue keeps popping up.
"We are stressed out and we don't know what to do with these kids," said London. "They can manage the working from home or being together just as adults, but when you throw the kids into the mix? That is the big one I'm hearing over and over again: 'The kids are driving us nuts! What do we do with the kids?'"
She suggests some of the old fashioned things like large puzzles, board games and yes, walking around the block for sunshine and fresh air.
