Personal Request from Dr. Kornhaber
Considering
the state of our world, environmentally, culturally, philosophically... ad
infinitum, it is more imperative than ever that grandparents do not sit
idly by, but rather apply their wisdom, experience and life perspective...what I
call "Grandparent Power"... to change the world for the better. This
is what "Grand" stewardship means. Today, I am adding a new role
for grandparents to the roles I have already defined. Grandparents as
Stewards of Future Generations: elders. selflessly working individually and
together, helping their children and grandchildren to help make the world a better place for all who come after.
As I continue to
address this issue, and to create an agenda for grandparent action, I
would like to hear your thoughts on the matter.
