"How would you feel if people disrespected you just because you had gray hair, wrinkles, and a slower gait?"

According to etiquette expert Debby Mayne, we all need to use 'the Golden Rule' when interacting not only with our elders, but with anyone else in our surroundings - "treat others as you'd like to be treated by them."

What's more is that our elders hold a special place in our lives because of the 'many years of life' they have experienced and the knowledge they have accumulated.

Debby gives us a few tips on how to communicate and engage with our elders in a more respectful way, and to give them the support and understanding they not only need, but that they deserve!

Don't forget to check our biography services - record your elders' memories and stories in a book, a film, or both!
