Tips for enjoying time with grandchildren

There are many indoor and outdoor activities that grandparents can enjoy with grandchildren.

If you are a grandmother or grandfather, here are some ideas for making the most of time spent with your grandchildren.

💚Read to them – Younger children love to listen to stories, and reading to them is a good way to bond and nurture their minds.

💚Play games – From board games and card games to chess and video games, playing games together is a great way to have fun and create memories with your grandchildren, regardless of age.

💚Attend a sporting event together – Whether your grandchild is a teen or adult, watching your favorite team or sport in person with them can be a perfect way to bond.

💚Teach them to cook – Your grandchildren will learn a valuable life skill, while you get to pass down your favorite recipes and cooking traditions.

💚Plant a garden together – Gardening not only boosts physical activity, but it’s an ideal way to teach children about plants and how to grow healthy food.

💚Share a craft or hobby – Whether you love to crochet, paint or carve wood, passing down your hobby or craft to your grandchildren can be rewarding for both you and them.

There’s something quietly magical about the bond between a child and their grandfather.

It might be the gentle wisdom shared over a backyard fence, the patient storytelling that makes family history come alive, or the way a simple walk feels like an adventure when Grandpa is by your side.

Grandfathers hold a special place in a child’s heart — part teacher, part protector, part playful co-conspirator.

They offer steady hands to guide, listening ears without judgment, and a love that often feels both timeless and unconditional.

In a world that can move too fast, grandfathers remind us to slow down, to laugh a little longer, and to treasure small, everyday moments that quietly shape who we become.

Here’s to the grandpas who fix broken toys, share old songs, and show us — just by being there — what it means to love and be loved, across generations.

THE GRANDMOTHER EFFECT

Children who live with or have frequent contact with a grandparent have lower rates of mortality and disease.

The grandparent stays more engaged and active, thus is more likely to live longer.

— Blue Zones

In Sardinia, older adults are an important part of the family unit and play an important role in the community.

Blue Zones founder Dan Buettner has said, “And long before people were talking about the social determinants of health, I attributed Sardinians’ longevity to their propensity for keeping their aging parents nearby – extending life expectancy for both grandparents and grandchildren.”

Sardinia has 10 times more centenarians per capita than the U.S. And it’s quite common there to see multiple generations living in harmony within a single home.

When there are younger children in the home, grandparents help take care of them.

In turn, when these elders later need assistance themselves, they are lovingly cared for at home by their children and grandchildren until the end of their lives, rather than being institutionalized.

Research into the grandmother effect, a theory that has been studied since the 1960s, has shown that children who live with or have frequent contact with one or more of their grandparents have lower rates of mortality and disease.

Intergenerational trauma, also known as transgenerational or historical trauma, can significantly impact the health and well-being of older people, both physically and mentally.

This complex phenomenon manifests in various ways, profoundly affecting their overall quality of life.
Here are some examples of how this mental strain affects one’s health 👇

➡️Chronic Illnesses: Older individuals who have experienced intergenerational trauma are at higher risk for chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and hypertension.

This heightened vulnerability can be attributed to prolonged stress and the body’s sustained inflammatory response, which can wear down physical health over time.

➡️Weakened Immune System
Chronic stress resulting from unresolved trauma can weaken the immune system.

This weakened state makes older people more susceptible to infections and slows down their recovery from illnesses, further compromising their health.

➡️Mental Health Disorders
Depression, anxiety, and PTSD are prevalent among older people who have endured intergenerational trauma.

These mental health conditions not only cause significant emotional distress but can also exacerbate physical health problems, creating a vicious cycle that diminishes overall well-being.

➡️Cognitive Decline
There is evidence suggesting that chronic stress and trauma can contribute to cognitive decline, increasing the risk of conditions such as dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.

The continuous strain on the mind and body may accelerate the deterioration of cognitive functions, leading to memory loss and impaired reasoning abilities.

Understanding these impacts is crucial for providing appropriate support and interventions for older individuals affected by intergenerational trauma.

Addressing both the physical and mental health aspects is essential in improving their quality of life and helping them cope with the long-term effects of trauma.

At Sage Solutions, we understand this phenomenon deeply, and our trained expert professionals are equipped to ensure the highest quality care. 💚

Professionals working in the field of aging often need to determine if the client/patient needs help with any of their ADLs or IADLs.

These medical abbreviation terms stand for Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs).

They represent key life tasks that people need to manage in order to live at home and be fully independent.

If you’re an older adult or a family caregiver, it would be good to familiarize yourself with these terms and the related skills.

Difficulties with ADLs and IADLs often correspond to how much help, supervision, and hands-on care an older person needs.

This can determine the cost of care at an assisted-living facility, whether someone is considered “safe” to live at home, or even whether a person is eligible for certain long-term care services.

Summer can be a beautiful season, but for individuals living with dementia or memory challenges, it can also bring unique risks that caregivers need to be aware of.

☀️ Dehydration is common, as many individuals may forget to drink or not recognize thirst.

🌡️ Heat sensitivity can increase the risk of overheating or heatstroke, especially if someone doesn’t realize they’re too warm.

🚶‍♀️ Wandering becomes more tempting in nice weather, but getting lost in the heat can be dangerous.

🎆 Overstimulation from noise, crowds, or busy summer events can lead to agitation or anxiety.

🕰️ Disrupted routines from travel or visitors can cause confusion, restlessness, or sleep disturbances.

At Sage Solutions, we specialize in dementia-informed care that supports both the individual and their family.

Our care managers work closely with you to create summer plans that protect your loved one’s well-being while allowing for meaningful, joyful connections.
