The generation gap will not stay gone. The generation gap returned with the birth of your first grandchild.
You may not agree with today's trends, but at least you'll be prepared for the changes and ready for the generation gaps to come. |
And you thought generation gaps were over when your children adopted regular clothing, traditional hairstyles, let the orange dye grow off their hair, then quit listening to that weird, loud music. Surprise! The generation gap returned in spades with the birth of your first grandchild. Do you remember how good a well-powdered baby dressed for bed smelled? Suggesting baby powder for your grandchildren will open the generation gap again. Or take the way infants sleep, for example. This is definitely an example of the generation gap! My friend Jan told me, "My grandson is two months old, and my daughter and I have been having a big discussion over his sleeping position. They put him on his side or back. She says babies who sleep on their stomachs are more prone to crib death. Some study in France was supposed to prove that kids who slept on their stomach died from crib death 10% more often than kids who slept on their back. But when my children were babies, we learned that if a baby slept on his back he could spit up and choke to death.
