She said that one of the most helpful services I could do was show interest in and genuine friendship to kids of all ages. The young people had said that the interest that an older person (grandparent/grandparent figure) took in them the more likely they were to stick around! That surprised me, but I'm acting on that! - Frances Mon, 19 Apr 2010 01:54:08 +0100 http://www.christiangrandparenting.net/articles/carry-the-torch/292-what-will-they-remember.html#comment-24 Research from the University of Alberta found that senior citizens can have a lasting impact on how children view elderly people. Research found children as young as 3 years old have a negative bias against older people-those preschoolers who weren't biased had regular contact with senior citizens. A recent study from Undergraduate Research Community at Kasas State University found that early elementary kids learned the following from senior citizens: to be nice and kind to others, how to play games, to respect others who are elders and that the elderly are nice people. - Terry Stratton Mon, 29 Mar 2010 19:26:30 +0100
