How to make the old people at home obey and wear masks?

1 Promote disease knowledge and speak with cases and figures.

We should actively introduce COVID-19's relevant knowledge, such as susceptible population, transmission routes and prevention methods, and inform the elders that due to the low immunity of the elderly and many basic diseases, we should pay more attention to prevention. Now there are contact transmission and droplet transmission, so the air outside is not absolutely safe. Wearing a mask is an effective preventive method proposed by Academician Zhong Nanshan. You can use real communication cases, such as "a man goes out to buy food without wearing a mask and contacts the infected person 15 seconds before being infected". You can also use official authoritative figures, such as the number of confirmed cases, severe cases and mortality rate broadcast by CCTV news, to warn family members and make them realize the necessity of wearing masks.

2 lead by example and influence others with actions.

Example is better than words. First of all, you should master the correct protective knowledge, buy protective equipment, and then put it into action, don't relax and slack off. Then, you should guide your elders to wear masks correctly and infect others with actions, which will play a leading role.

Seek help from others to increase the persuasion effect

If your parents don't listen to you, you can ask someone they trust for advice, such as community workers, neighbors and relatives. And it can also make the children at home enhance the persuasion effect. I believe they will listen.

4. Broadcast the epidemic situation and make flexible use of the surrounding environment.

Patiently explain the development of the epidemic, * * * watch authoritative news reports and tell parents that some cities now require wearing masks when traveling, and some communities, especially those with confirmed cases, strictly restrict people from entering and leaving. Parents can also watch cases where they are not allowed to buy food or take buses without masks, or take their parents to see community propaganda slogans and notices posted at the entrance of the supermarket and the situation that men, women and children wear masks on the street, so that parents can be aware of the changes in the surrounding environment and the seriousness of the epidemic.

As long as we pay attention to the ways and means of communication, have a gentle tone and a firm attitude, grasp the emotions of family members, do what they like, speak with authentic and authoritative cases and data, and master effective communication methods, we can let others listen to suggestions and wear masks.
