Thus, the emergence of mentors, guidance counselors, and other roles adults take in the lives of young people. But research has also shown that the interaction between children and older adults can significantly benefit the aging community as well. Susan Curnan, Brandeis professor and Executive Director of the Center for Youth and Communities says \u201cthe key is pairing great potential with great experience.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/longevity3.stanford.edu\/hidden-in-plain-sight-how-intergenerational-relationships-can-transform-our-future\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">article published by the Stanford Center on Longevity<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> states \u201cIn promoting the well-being of the next generation, older adults experience fulfillment and purpose in their own lives.\u201d Social development psychologists describe the final stage of emotional development is reached around the age of 60. Aging seniors often have trouble finding a sense of purpose and fulfillment in their later years and pairing them with youth can help them find that. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The mutual benefits that both children and seniors get from interaction with each other is evident in many different programs and facilities that bridge the gap between the two age groups. Intergenerational relationships have been shown to:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Decrease the fear that children have of aging and the elderly<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Provide a sense of purpose to both children and older adults<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Offer both age groups an opportunity to learn new skills<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alleviate the void of missing or distant grandparents\/grandchildren<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reduce loneliness and isolation, and decrease the likelihood of depression in seniors<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Help children discover talents and skills<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Give seniors an opportunity to pass on practical and emotional wisdom<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though these are only some of the benefits that stem from children and older adult interaction, it is quite clear how important the intergenerational relationship can be. While the definite benefits are clear, one of the underlying advantages of these relationships is a greater ability to build a positive outlook on life and to limit focus on the negative. For children, this can result in a happier, more successful and enjoyable life. For aging adults, their perspectives of life can drastically switch from being unfulfilled and pointless to full and meaningful. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As Erik Erikson describes the \u201cgenerativity\u201d phase of human development, he commits to the interest that older adults develop in guiding the next generation. A sense of desire sprouts in this age group share time, experience, education and love. This gift loops back around to the younger generation that grows to be inspired by and grateful for the calm, patient, guiding hands that helped guide them maneuver through fearful and confusing ages. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Intergenerational relationships do not have to be between grandchildren and children. Children and seniors paired together can easily develop critical relationships that add value to each other\u2019s lives and help each other move positively forward into the next roles in their lives.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"sub\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span>\u00a0Children and seniors paired together can easily develop critical relationships that add value to each other\u2019s lives and help each other move positively forward into the next roles in their lives.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":235,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-237","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-family"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.5 (Yoast SEO v27.5) -
