Extractions: Materials ... About the Author Today's classrooms are filled with children who will enjoy an unprecedented longevity. Many of these students will live into their eighties, nineties, or beyond. They will be surrounded by other community members who will also be experiencing longer life spans. This aging population will have an effect on every aspect of our society. How well prepared are these youngsters for taking advantage of their opportunity for long life? How will they deal with the challenges posed by the aging of their communities' populations? The answers will depend on how we respond to the need for education about aging. It is essential for children to develop positive attitudes toward older people and aging. Frequent interaction with older people can help children understand the different roles we accept as we age and grow. In our mobile society frequent contact between generations may be difficult or impossible. Older and younger generations become separated when families relocate for jobs. Older family members may retire and move to another region. Many young people are deprived of contact with older generations and do not benefit from the experiences their elders might share with them. Where circumstances have severed family links, intergenerational programs can create new ones.
