Children Learn What Grandparents Teach by Mavis Aldridge
This educational book bridges generations by capturing timeless wisdom that grandparents have traditionally shared with their families and communities. Designed primarily for Fifth Graders, with adaptable content for Fourth and Sixth Grade students, this resource reconnects children with the valuable life lessons often lost in today's mobile society.
Preserving Intergenerational Wisdom
In several cultures, grandparents have been revered as the wisdom keepers. In recent years, changes have occurred in many families due to developments in transportation, new technologies, and the pursuit of lucrative careers. As a result, many families found new living locations far from where they were born and raised. Grandparents and grandchildren often get separated in the process. It is the intention of this book to recapture some of the 'pearls of wisdom' that some grandparents have shared with their children and communities.
