Helping Kids Connect with Their Grandparents :: Isabel Tom [Ep 509]

Do you feel that it is hard to connect with your aging parents? Are your kids and grandparents not communicating well through the generational gap?

In this episode, Isabel Tom, author of The Value of Wrinkles shares insights into her background, her work with the elderly, and her experience growing up in a multigenerational household. She gives a unique perspective of how much joy and life we can bring to the generation before us but it takes a lot of intentionality. This conversation covers practical tips for deepening these family ties and the mutual blessings they can bring.

We cover a wide range of topics-

Simple ways to involve children in caring for their grandparents or older relatives
How to foster meaningful conversations across generations
How small acts of kindness can make a big difference in an elder’s life
An Investigator Kit Isabela created to help families connect
How to talk to your kids about elder issues- dementia or physical constraints
