In this episode of the Eternal Echoes podcast, host Katharine Rose welcomes Isabel Tom, author of “The Value of Wrinkles,” to discuss the importance of connecting younger and older generations.

Isabel shares her personal journey growing up in a multi-generational household and how her experiences working in senior care have shaped her perspective. She also explains the mission behind the Grandkid Investigator Kit, a resource she created to help connect grandchildren with their grandparents.

Isabel highlights the role of faith in bridging generational gaps and offers insight into the challenges of fostering intergenerational relationships, emphasizing the need for intentionality.

Wise words worth echoing:

-“If you want to value somebody, you’ve got to learn about them. You’ve got to learn their story.”

-“We have to be intentional in helping our kids connect with their older loved ones.”

-“When you spend time with the older generation, it allows you to see things from a long-term, eternal perspective.”

-“I attribute my faith to watching my grandma because the closest I got to seeing what the love of Jesus is like was watching her, because she was just so selfless.”
