Computer Lessons for Seniors
I’m sure you will be asking yourself what in the world has computer lessons for seniors got to do with manners and etiquette?
Well let me explain, I feel our seniors are being neglected by all and sundry. As people pursue their own interests, work and family, their parents and grandparents are pushed more and more into the background, the ‘too hard’ basket, ‘things to do’ list.
They just cannot possibly spare the time to give of themselves to their elderly parents, no matter how good their intentions are. Sometimes this neglect is due to a lack of time, sometimes it is a lack of manners and etiquette, but mostly it is ignorance of their parents’ lack of computer literacy or of knowing how to access our Computer Lessons for Seniors. You know you need to be doing more, but you also know you just cannot manage the time. You decide to give your mum and dad your old computer so that they can keep in touch with their friends and family who live too far away to visit. That will stop them from feeling so lonely.
That is very kind and generous of you. But now you do not have the time to show them how it works. After all, it takes time and patience to give computer lessons to seniors. We owe so much to many of the older generation, so, we should help them as much as possible where we can. One of the ways to do this would be to help them to maintain their independence and self-reliance. We ought to show not only respect, but also consideration for our elderly relatives - ‘charity begins at home.’ However, I’m not sure that you are aware that your kind deed was not so kind after all. What you have achieved here is to give your parent a whole lot of stress, frustration and guilt! Guilt because they want you to know they are grateful that you thought of them … and guilt! Guilt because now they could cheerfully STRANGLE you (smile).
They are so stressed because they do not even know how to switch the darn thing on! They NEED computer lessons. They are really afraid they will mess it up and you will not be happy ….. I could go on about this, but it is enough to say they are positively TERRIFIED of the love gift you gave to them. What to do about this catastrophe? Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!
