How to show appreciation to seniors in your life
Grandparents and seniors can share wis-
dom and a lifetime of experience with the
young people in their lives. Expressing
gratitude for such lessons is a great way to
show the seniors in your life, whether it’s a
grandparent, mentor or family friend, how
much they’re appreciated.
Some seniors live alone, while others
may be living with their adult children and
grandchildren, off ering care and support to
help make the household function. Wheth-
er grandparents, aunts and uncles or older
friends live close by or elsewhere, there are
many ways for their loved ones to show
them how much they’re appreciated.
1. Become pen pals. Seniors may have
limited mobility or opportunities to get out
of the house. Receiving mail is one way to
connect with the outside world. Regularly
send letters to a grandparent or other senior,
sharing tales of daily life and key moments
that will bring them joy. Chances are they’ll
return the favor with a letter of their own.
2. Explore technology together. Younger
generations can introduce seniors to avail-
able technology that can bring them closer.
Th is may include digital assistants that enable
them to share videos, tablets to send email or
access social media, mobile phones for call-
ing and texting, and anything else families can
customize to their needs.
3. Off er companionship. Spending time
with younger generations can motivate se-
niors to stay active and engaged. Have games
and activities at the ready
or simply provide a listen-
ing ear.
4. Shop and run errands.
Help aging loved ones per-
form the tasks that they
may not be able to tackle
on their own. Th is can in-
clude picking up groceries
or prescriptions or taking
them to appointments.
Simple work around the
house, like doing laundry
or light clean-up, also can
be a big help.
5. Start a hobby togeth-
er. Develop a hobby that
seniors and young people
can enjoy together. Watching classic movies,
painting ceramics, going to sporting events,
or gardening are just a few of the many hob-
bies that seniors can enjoy with their young
loved ones.
Th ere are many ways to bridge the genera-
tion gap and spend meaningful time with ag-
ing loved ones.
