Wunderist Problem Solver: Intergenerational Relationships

A Stanford University study concluded that seniors develop problem-solving and emotional skills that other generations can benefit from. Skills and experiences that older adults have in abundance: critical thinking, problem-solving and social interaction, influence social connections and sense of purpose.

It looks like as long as we’re on the planet our destiny is to grow and change. According to Erik Erikson, one of the first psychologists to describe social development across the lifespan, yet another new wave of emotional development is experienced around the age of 60 and older!

The study goes on to say that older people’s qualities and their affinity for purpose and engagement position them as critical contributors to society.
Bring your kids and turn to your wise elders to spruce up on attitudes, behaviors and strategies required to operate as a productive adult in this increasingly complex and technical world.
