What Living in a Multigenerational Home has taught me

  We  are all experiencing challenging times as we navigate the Covid-19   pandemic. As we implement new health and safety procedures at home,   work, and public spaces, our area schools are doing the same. 

I’ve  been a communication professor for 9  years, and one of my favorite  courses to teach is Intercultural  Communication. During the first week  of class, I open a conversation  about culture and race by asking my  students to discuss their racial  identity.  

We’ve  seen the memes, social media posts  and videos about struggling parents  attempting to educate their  children during our national quarantine.  Many of them are hilarious!  

On  a daily basis, I see preschool-aged  children in senseless trances as  they stare at their tablets in homes,  restaurants, shopping carts and  everywhere else.
