This initiative has become a cherished highlight for both the residents and the children, fostering beautiful friendships that span generations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFamilies at Chancellor Park WOL have also witnessed these positive outcomes firsthand. Last year, one of the kindergarten children in our centre, Ameerah loved Mary from Regis Sippy Downs so much, that she would talk about Mary all the time. So much so, that Ameerah\u2019s mum reached out to us and would take Ameerah to visit Mary on weekends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen Mary\u2019s health started to deteriorate and it meant that she didn\u2019t feel well enough to get out of bed, the carers at Regis Sippy Downs asked Ameerah\u2019s mum if it was ok to have a framed photo of Ameerah on Mary\u2019s bedside table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOn days when Mary didn\u2019t feel well enough to get out of bed, the staff would point to the photo and tell her \u2018Ameerah is coming to visit you today,\u2019 and that photograph would give Mary the motivation to get out of bed. They developed such a strong bond.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To honour Grandparents\u2019 Day this year, the centre is hosting a special celebration to bring together children\u2019s grandparents and Regis Sippy Downs Aged Care residents for morning tea and engaging activities; in a lively morning filled with laughter, storytelling and shared experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Research has shown that intergenerational programs like this are proven to boost social connections and deliver real mental health benefits, especially for older Australians facing loneliness. Griffith University research in particular, has shown that intergenerational programs have a positive impact on the sense of well-being among the elderly and improved confidence and communication skills in children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grandparents\u2019 Day recognises the contribution grandparents make to families, communities, and the economy. It&#8217;s a day to say \u2018thank you\u2019 to grandparents for their care and support, and for sharing their knowledge, experience, and traditions with younger generations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chancellor Park World of Learning has been nurturing an intergenerational program with nearby Regis Sippy Downs Aged Care for the past two years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2390,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2389","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-learning"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
