This is an informal report of an Adopted Grandparents program begun in 1968 to provide mutually enriching experiences for young children in a classroom and elderly residents in a nursing home. There were 13 adopted grandparents averaging 77 years of age and thirty 6-, 7-, and 8-year-old children. Objectives were to stimulate sharing of talents, knowledge and skills, to encourage caring and helping relationships and to help children recognize and accept the aging process. The children visited the nursing home regularly, wrote letters and read to grandparents, helped plan parties, music, games, and arts and crafts activities and planted a flower garden. A detailed log book was kept which included happenings, conversation and comments of the children, the elderly and the nursing home staff. During the 1974-75 school year a study was conducted to identify the effects of the program on children's attitudes toward the elderly. Pretests and posttests were given to children in the program and to a control group. Although no statistical differences were found between the two groups, it appeared that both the adopted grandparents and the children benefited from the contact and that the experimental group more frequently had attitude changes in a positive direction toward elderly persons.
