O knihe

The dangers of age segregation and the benefits of age integration are examined. Each
generation should be recognized as an essential source for learning. Harmony will increasingly
depend on general awareness of how other age groups interpret events, respect for values that
guide their behavior, responsiveness to their needs and concerns, consideration of their criticisms
and solutions, and acknowledgement of their contributions.
This book describes: (a) personality assets and mental abilities to focus learning at each
stage of development; (b) obstacles to anticipate and overcome; (c) a rationale to make reciprocal
learning common; (d) research findings which identify generational learning needs; and (e)
benefits of providing lifelong education. Six stages are explored: infancy and early childhood
(birth-age 6); middle and later childhood (ages 6-10); adolescence (ages 10-20); early adulthood (ages 20-40); middle adulthood (ages
40-60); and older adulthood (age 60+). Some outcomes of lifelong learning include self-control, patience, integrity, resilience, persistence,
problem solving ability, acceptance of criticism, and generativity. The intended audiences for this book are professionals working
with individuals and families.
