Too Soon Old, Too Late Smart

Intergenerational Bonding

I think young and really enjoy young people.

respect my elders and openly display that respect.

love my children and am not afraid to openly express

my love, and I spend as much time as possible with

them.

Dennis Rhoten, Arlington, Texas

Be interested in what they are interested in. Make

them feel worthwhile. Most importantly, realize and

remember you have the most to benefit-you can learn

so much from the old and young alike. Invest your time.

Share "you" with others.

Tina Bigelow, Marshall, Minnesota

I visit care homes with my children. Make a

"Grandma's book" -- putting this together with your

mom, grandma, and children - as many generations as

possible. Make holiday cookies and holiday activities

that become a tradition.

Randie Seeber, Newburg, Oregon

Traditions bond parent to child, child to parent,

sibling to sibling, generation to generation. If you have

no family traditions at this point in time, start some.
