conversation of grandparents
Answers
Answer:
will soon be here, and the day makes me think about how much grandparents welcome the opportunity to share their experiences, guidance and memories, if only they’re provided with a willing ear.
Part of that process is asking the right questions — whether you’re just looking for a conversation starter or an interview.
So, consider using these questions to engage your grandparents and learn more about your family legacy this Grandparents Day:
Did you go to college? What did you study? If you didn’t go to college, do you wish you had had the opportunity? What did you do instead?
Did you have any pets growing up?
Did you live in a house or an apartment? What was it like? What was your room like?
Do you know any stories about the history of the family name, or the origins of the family?
How many brothers and sisters do you have? What are their names? What do you remember about them from growing up?
How did you meet your spouse? How old were you when you met/got engaged/got married? What was the wedding like?
What are the most difficult and most rewarding things about growing older?
What big world events were the most memorable while you were growing up?
What did you want to be when you grew up?
