*Although I would like for you to interview your grandparents, if you don’t have any, or your grandparents are deceased, try and interview someone close to their age group. If you are a grandparent, you can address this question based on your experiences.
I want you to interview your grandparents (face-to-face, or over the phone). Ask them what their childhood and adolescence were like. Ask them how aging is the same/differs from their expectations (i.e. feel the same or didn’t expect “aches and pains”).
Compare their experiences to yours.
Discuss how your life differs from your grandparents. How does being in a particular cohort impact life experiences? How do you think your aging differs from your grandparents experience?
