[quote=Anonymous]I always approach an older-looking minder with some gray hair like she is the child's mother. For example, I might say, "I really like your child's winter jacket. May I ask where you bought it? It is so cute." That way, you have just made her day when she suddenly has a big smile and says: "Oh, I'm grandma! My daughter bought the jacket but I don't know where." This way, you have just complimented her and made her feel good. Then again, I'm almost 52 with an upper elementary student, so I am very mindful of avoiding ageist comments that will go over like a lead balloon. [/quote]
