Intergenerational Learning -Old & Young Talking Again (Episode 15)
This is another point of fact that was really interesting from the article, consist only of people ten years older or ten years younger than they are now. Think about how limiting that is in life, right? And the story goes on to discuss how several studies were actually done of this OMA program, and it demonstrated that after a single semester, college student participants had improved their overall attitudes towards older people. Now how about that? So here's the other question

Thank you for this, sir. You know, I used to. I'm Gen X. I used to remember a time where you could sit down with your grandparents and talk. And that in itself bridges, you know, the generational gap. I think my mother and my daughter have a very good relationship. She talks to my mother, of course, in respect, as her Nana, but she tells her things as a friend. And I know they say you can't be friends to your kids
So I have a little bit of an advantage there, I think. Anyway, thanks for stopping by as usual and for all your valuable input. I'm glad to hear that your daughter gets along very well with your mom, and that makes for a fantastic relationship in more ways than anybody can imagine. All right, thanks again, Evelyn. Talk to you soon

But when you look at the other cultures and how they have managed to maintain the importance of the family structure, and Evelyn, if it's not your family that shares your DNA, if it's just your neighborhood or et cetera, et cetera, wherever you find your older generation that you feel like you can confide in or whatever, I feel like it's just so important
And you know what? Vice versa. Because there are some things that I learned from younger folks as well. So anyway, thanks again for stopping by. I am definitely following you, and I look forward to some more productive chats. Thank you again and have a good weekend

And my girls are like, no, that's never going to happen in this house. And it's because if you want to have a wife and if you want your kids to have a mom that is present and pleasant and has enough of her left to educate and just make sure that you have all the things like that that you cannot possibly provide, there's 100% of each person, and every time you add something to your life, you take a chunk of that

So here an adult enters the room and sometimes the adult has trouble busting into a conversation that's happening among the youth and that's such a contrast and I mean to think that the kids with the provision are the ones that are the most broken as far as how it should work, how they should view their elders. Very interesting and I think it's like a little sidebar to this intergenerational learning thing. So maybe it's the adults that

Our relationship was good, but never once do I ever remember, and I'm sure my kids would say the same thing, walking into a room where she was and her siblings were and her parents were, and feeling the need to kind of decompress a little bit and get a little bit more quiet and to realize that you are not an equal part of that room
