️🎶Absolutely perfect for people suffering from Alzheimer's🎶
I was going to post this in my group - 'Handy' hints, tips & great ideas:
www.neighbourly.co.nz... - but thought that this is too good not to share with everyone.
Just on a side note, this is also perfect for the elderly and anyone incapacitated. My friend who fosters severely handicapped children, has done this with all of her foster children and they absolutely love it and have thrived so much.
With technology moving faster than ever now, how about donating your iPods to a family member or a friend to make a personalised music list for their loved one.
Music and memories walk hand in hand with one another. These little iPods with a personalised play list on it, will help tap into deep memories that maybe lost and maybe for a period of time, bring them 'back to life'.
Thus, allowing them to feel like themselves again, maybe even to converse if they can and socialise while staying present.
This has to be a simple and very easy gift to give anyone who is sick or confined to their bed or wheelchair.
I was going to suggest donating them to the old folk's homes etc ... but there are (sadly) far too many light fingered people out there.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
