Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social isolation, loneliness, and suicide are conditions we often associate with the elderly. But in reality, these issues have sharply increased across younger generations. Baby Boomers, Gen X’ers, Millennials, and post-Millennials all report a declining number of friends and an increasing number of health issues associated with loneliness. Even more concerning, it appears that the younger the generation, the greater the feelings of disconnection. Regardless of age, it feels as though we’re living through a period of ongoing disequilibrium because we’re not able to adapt quickly enough to the social and technological changes swirling around us. These powerful changes have not only isolated individuals from their own peers but have contributed to becoming an age-segregated society. And yet we need fulfilling relationships with people our own age and across the generations to lead lives that are rich in meaning and purpose. Even in those rare communities where young and old live near each other, they lack organic settings that encourage intergenerational relationships. In addition, it isn’t technology, but generational diversity that is our best tool for navigating the changes that affect so many aspects of our lives - whether it’s work, entertainment, education, or family dynamics. We can’t restore yesterday’s model of community, where only those who were older transmitted wisdom downward to the generation below. But we can relearn how much members of different generations have to offer each other and recreate intergenerational communities for the 21st century where young, old, and everyone in between is equally valued for their perspectives, and where each generation views itself as having a stake in the other’s success. Here, Hayim Herring focuses more deeply on how Baby Boomers, Gen Xers, and Millennials perceive one another and looks underneath the generational labels that compound isolation. He offers ways we can prepare current and future generations for a world in which ongoing interactions with people from multiple generations become the norm, and re-experience how enriching intergenerational relationships are personally and communally.

Book excerpt: They do, however, explore common Millennial stereotypes in the hopes of helping other generations better understand this lost generation. They also offer ideas on how to build strong intergenerational relationships to better equip Boomers and Gen Xers to engage a generation that is generally apathetic and disinterested in the church. Because ultimately, all this talk about Millennial and generations is not about upping church attendance for the sake of numbers-it's about one generation leading another to Christ. Book jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christmas Day 2021 sees the release of a Netflix series, Stories of a Generation with Pope Francis, based on this book. Pope Francis views elders as reservoirs of wisdom and historical memory and believes their insights will offer future generations much-needed understanding and direction. More than 250 people were interviewed and Loyola Press sent a collection of stories to the Vatican. These encompassed universal themes of love, loss, survival, hope, peace in the face of unimaginable tragedy, and above all, faith. Pope Francis received every story, prayed over them, and responded with sensitivity and grace to 31 of the stories and the issues they raise. In his Preface, Pope Francis lays out his reasons for this collection of wisdom stories and the movement he hopes it inspires. He also contributes as a fellow elder, offering a story from his own life at the start of each chapter . And in his own wise and compassionate way, he serves as a spiritual shepherd, commenting on dozens of heartfelt stories.

Book excerpt: "Conversations" brings women ages 20-80 through a journey of self-discovery, community and personal empowerment. The books genesis is the result of an ongoing discussion between the co-authors over the course of twenty years. We started "Conversations" with four simple questions to women throughout the United States. The forms of communication included written, voice, and e-mail. What we found important was not the communication vehicles, but the questions, answers and advice resulting from these conversations. "Conversations" is a collection of thirty womens stories who participated in the dialogue. They talked about who they are, what they did right, what they would do over, and asked a question or two. So began the conversation. . . you asked. . . you answered. We contacted the women ten years later and have included those who responded in this collection. Women want other womens input into the daily happenings of their life and they want to know how other women tackled fears, joys and health issues. "Conversations" addresses the concerns of modern American Women of all ages, race and economics. "Conversations" shares common themes found in recent books: the quest for meaning, direction and clarity in ones life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WHAT ARE GRANDFRIENDSHIPS? They are comfortable two-way interactions between children and safe, available seniors -- family or non-family -- who live near one another. These connections help re-create the village concept when parents make them happen. These true intergenerational stories describe how youngsters at every age grew stronger, smarter, and more compassionate. You will see how GrandFriendships in families, neighborhoods, schools, places of worship, and other settings can enrich the lives of both children and seniors. This guidebook contains: * Reasons why GrandFriendships are needed in today's stressed-out society. * The story of elementary school kids bonding with the frail elderly. * Powerful feedback from those same kids, 20 years later! * Action Steps for parents to jump-start GrandFriendships. What others say: With compassion, joy and wisdom, Helene Block Fields captures the unique impact that GrandFriendships between young and old have on one another. The time is now...for parents to prioritize time to help connect the generations...after reading this amazing guidebook, how could you not? - GAIL REICHLIN, Executive Director of The Parents Resource Network, and Author of The Pocket Parent This book is inspirational, informative, and highly practical. It especially highlights the natural affinity between youngsters and seniors who have been seasoned by life. It is also must reading for seniors who wish to give back to their communities. As a former Child Development instructor at the college level and Head Start pioneer, I urge both parents and professionals to read this book. - LUCIA CAPACCHIONE, Ph.D, Art Therapist, and Author of Recovery of Your Inner Child

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume-"Selected Contemporary Challenges of Aging Policy"-is the most international of all published monographs from the series "Czech-Polish-Slovak Studies in Andragogy and Social Gerontology." Among the scholars trying to grasp the nuances and trends of social policy, there are diverse perspectives, resulting not only from the extensive knowledge of the authors on the systematic approach to the issue of supporting older people but also from the grounds of the represented social gerontology schools. In the texts of Volume VII interesting are both distinct and coherent elements presenting the role of local, regional and global policies in the prism of the countries from which the authors originate: the Czech Republic, Slovenia, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Slovakia, Italy, Turkey, and the United States. The chapters show a wealth of methodological approaches to the perception of social policy and its tools. In the texts there are issues related to the idea of active ageing, discrimination against older people in the workplace, comparability of solutions friendly to employment of older adults in the Czech Republic, Poland, and Slovakia as well as focused on the importance of educational forms (universities of the third age, senior clubs, folk high schools, and other non-formal solutions) determining an active life in old age. This monograph also attempted to answer the question regarding how to transfer the idea of intergenerational learning into the realm of practice. This issue complements the chapter on the implementation of intergenerational programs in institutions providing long-term care support. The book also outlines a public policy on ageing in the perspective of the changes over the last few decades (Slovenia) and the case demonstrating solutions to accelerate self-reliance as a key to active ageing (Turkey). We hope that seventh volume of our series will be an intellectual stimulus for further international research on change in social policy and will contribute to the dissemination of best practices as well as contribute to positive social change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this work the author moves away from youth-centered catechesis toward a catechetical method that gets at the heart of faith formation for ALL generations, storytelling. In the African-American storytelling tradition, both the storyteller and listener are important—they embody the story. What happens in the story exchange process is the discovery of connections. The author’s method of African-American storytelling, My Story-Your Story, brings to life the Christian story through our shared experiences. Intergenerational catechesis invites us to see ourselves and one another across time—through eyes that are young, middle-aged, and elderly. Based on an understanding of family, intergenerational catechesis moves away from the domestic church as a starting point for growing in faith to the community as a starting point. Where the domestic church focuses on those who live in the household, intergenerational catechesis focuses on everyone in the Church community: single persons, divorced persons, widows/widowers, teens, young adults, pre-school and elementary children, parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles. In highlighting our connections we are better able to see ourselves and one another differently. When we see ourselves and others transformed faith is revitalized.

Book excerpt: In an age criticized for its lack of family cohesion and a growing chasm between old and young, George Strange's Generations: Stories comes to remind us that no amount of Western culture can erase the bonds that unite family and humanity. In unobtrusive prose, Strange moves us through each story to a better understanding of family and the artificial distances we create within them. Each story quietly insists that human themes are no respecter of age and just as each generation must learn, so too must it teach. These stories do not hammer; they transport. Within settings so familiar to many of us, the rural or small town South, Strange refuses to leave us comfortable, carefully twisting our perspective so that we are forced to face the issues in each work. With subtle movements of plot, the audience finds itself looking at both its inevitable future and its youthful past and the issues common to both. Whether it's the younger generation's demand for identity and dignity or the older generation's insistence that it not be marginalized and forgotten, the stories take to task traditional views of generations and their interaction. While a grandfather may teach, as in "Pears" and "If She Should Die, " a father must also learn from his own son, as in "A Gift for George Washington Gonzales.' In "Season of Death" and "Mrs. Dickens Goes to the Drugstore, " older characters struggle against the erosion of time and the irreverence of the young. A community's responsibility and failure to a younger generation is explored in "River Caul" just as a young boy explores the myths of his family's past in "Connecting Generations." What Generations: Stories leaves us with then is the knowledge that thegenerations are neither isolated nor inaccessible amid the sea of human experience. What bridges the differences is a willingness to perceive age as a detail and not an identity and the universal human desire for dignity and acknowledgement. These bridges, the stories tell us, are numerous, available, and fundamental to our continuity as humans.
