Family Conversations for Generational Wisdom

The holidays are a good time to catch up with family and friends. They’re a good time for what I call “generational wisdom” – those stories the younger generations hear from their parents and grandparents.

This year you might get together on Zoom, but it’s still a good time for telling stories.

You can start the conversation with the questions below, They’re a way to get your parents talking about their childhood, growing up, and family history. You might even get some wonderful lessons about love, life and what matters most.

Please let me know what you learn. The questions in no particular order.

  • What did you like most about growing up in your hometown?
  • How did you meet your spouse/partner?
  • How did you know he/she was “the one”?
  • What do you remember most about your mom/grandmother?
  • What do you remember most about your dad/grandfather?
  • How did you choose your career? What was/is your favorite part of it?
