AnnotationPlanning educational courses for older people should be based on identifying things they do well, and determining knowledge and behaviours that younger family members would like them to acquire. This strategy prevents the common problem of studying inappropriate courses that may be considered successful in other environments or societies. Three-generational studies of families in China and the United States are described to illustrate differences in perception about grandparents across cultures and between generations within societies. Guidelines and curriculum topics are recommended for several target populations to help them achieve family harmony. (RH).
