[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In Japan they try to pair Kindergartens with nursing homes, so that the little kids can visit the elders regularly. It made my Grandma so happy, because she was really a child herself, and my K-aged children were here in the US - not exactly great for weekly visits. [/quote] My mother and I were just talking about this tonight! Both her biological grandchild and honorary grandchildren have reached their teens and 20s, and she misses having a child around. She said having a school program in their senior complex would brighten her whole life. Seems like a win-win, too, assuming the elderly residents are functional enough to guide, entertain, and/or tutor the kids. [/quote]
