Few people are willing to admit that senior adults and young children share many common characteristics, including :(1) changes in development ;(2) need for companionship ; and(3) the desire to be understood. These two groups are connected mostly through direct interaction with middle-aged adults.

Intergenerational programming has been defined as the purposeful bringing together of different generations in ongoing mutually beneficial activities designed to achieve specified program goals.
