"Grandparents,
by
virtue
of
what
they
have
seen
and
done
throughout
their
lives,
represent
an
important
community
resource."
Author
and
public
policy
consultant
Harris
offers
examples,
suggestions,
and
strategies
for
the
older
generation
to
share
its
wisdom
and
perspective
with
the
younger.
He
asserts
that
grandparents,
coming
from
times
very
different
from
those
that
the
grandchildren
experience,
have
a
personal
and
social
responsibility
to
express
and
exemplify
broader
perspectives
of
societal
and
community
values.
Many
"lessons"
are
situational.
Grandparents
can
share
their
understanding
of
what
is
appropriate
in
specific
circumstances.
For
example,
suppose
a
child
rushes
to
exit
an
elevator
ahead
of
a
man
using
a
walker
or
a
woman
carrying
a
load
of
paperwork.
In
that
case,
that
child
needs
to
be
shown
by
discussion
and
practice
what
constitutes
more
sensitive,
thoughtful,
and
compassionate
action.
Many
such
problematic
scenariosat
a
funeral,
in
the
hotel,
and
the
likeare
presented,
with
solutions
suggested,
along
with
twenty-six
techniques
enumerated
and
elucidated
to
help
elders
give
necessary
social
guidance
to
youngsters.
Harris
has
written
copiously
on
many
social,
business,
and
cultural
issues
and
here
presents
a
salutary
reminder
to
older
people
to
take
on
the
cloak
of
wisdom
for
the
benefit
of
their
children's
children
(or
any
younger
family
members).
He
carefully
refrains
from
offering
advice
to
those
grandparents
who
have
been
given
the
role
of
full-time
parenting,
as
that
requires
many
more
and
very
different
responsibilities.
He
expertly
addresses
such
issues
as
the
changing
legal
definitions
of
parenthood
and
contributions
that
great-grandparents
can
make.
For
the
elders
who
have
contact
with
grandchildrenby
visits,
or
from
a
greater
distancehe
helpfully
suggests
a
variety
of
lively,
personal,
and
sometimes
amusing
methods
to
infuse
the
youngsters,
often
rigidly
scheduled
and
duty-bound,
with
the
ideals
of
a
more
timeless
viewpoint.
Harris's
wide-ranging
advice
will
engage
his
older
readers
with
practical
ideas
for
the
next
visit,
letter,
or
Zoom
session
with
younger
family
members."
